8. Not me.
At this point, I'd support Obama if Edwards dropped.

15. Obama and Hillary are both too vague.
They are also corporatists and will not change the status quo.

23. You mean other than his love of corporate donations?
And his promotion of an anti-gay preacher who says gays can "pray themselves straight"?

Ask yourself this: How can Barack bring about real change when it's going to impact the very corporations who've been making a killing? It will hit their profit margins, and they aren't going to like that. They are going to expect favors for all that cash.

What is he going to do? Tell them to go take a hike if they don't like it? Of course not. He wants them at the table, in on the deal, negotiating for their best interests, which is not in the best interests of the American people.

Can you say compromising position?

We need change, not more of the same. Barack represents more of the same. Follow the money. Follow the money. Follow the money.

12. This is another interesting issue if it plays out.

If Edwards supporters are serious about the "progessive" stuff that Edwards is selling, they have nowhere to go. Hillary is antithetical to everything Edwards is saying. Obama is close to Edwards, but the hardcore left types that have latched onto Edwards aren't so hot on Obama. I think Obama would take the lefties and Hillary would get the conservative types. Edwards conservative support might be greater than his liberal support. This helps Hillary.

14. Excellent points all!!
IMHO, Hillary, and her hubby before her, sold us out to Corporate Merika....that being just one of their many sins.

17. Oh HELL no!
I'd go Obama in a nanosecond. Actually, the defeat of Hillary is more important to me than a win by Edwards, because I think she would be poison in the general.

18. In the primary? Never. Even if EVERYONE else drops out, I won't vote.
I'd still vote for her in the general, however...

I'll vote for Hillary if she's the nominee, but I wont be motivated enough to get involved in her campaign.
