kucinich fan looking towards edwards.

Love kucinich but i'm looking for a second in case the kucinich campaign does not pick up the steam that it so desperatly needs. I don't like hillary, obama scares me sometimes and even once is to much. I have had my reservations about edwards and my philosophy is follow the money.

i have no problem voting for edwards now.

2. Kucinich isn't going ANYWHERE, unfortunately!

Edwards is our greatest opportunity for Kucinich-like changes.

4. I'm still a big Kucinich fan, but the commercial media has basically blacklisted him by now

So I'm supporting Edwards at this point (even though my most recent donation was to Kucinich)

5. Hear here!! Good choice! I'm a DK fan also, who's supporting Edwards

Follow the money indeed!! It was a gutsy move on Edward's part to not accept PAC or lobbiest contributions and sticking to it, and it deserves the recognition and support of all Dems who want to take back our democracy from MegaCorp USA and who do not want endless ME wars as a foreign policy.

6. I think FOLLOW TH E MONEY is a very smart way to go

I would like to think people are good and sick of the bribes in our political system. We should reward the ones who are taking a stand to change that. Nice post.

7. In a caucus state, your choice should ALWAYS be Kucinich

In a primary state, I can certainly see the need for a fallback.

8. I switched my support from Kucinich to Edwards today

I still think Kucinich is the best man for the job, but I don't believe America is ready for him yet. For now, we need someone who has a chance, and that's Edwards. Kucinich is a visionary who is ahead of his time.

Besides, Kucinich isn't on the primary ballot in my state, so my support for him was always "in principle." He still has that support, but Edwards is getting my attention now in addition to my vote.
