2. They are both good Democrats...
It is their right to stay in the race as long as they want to. Why do you want to limit the choices of many, many good people across the country and on this board who just do not find Obama or Clinton inspiring? Neither Kucinich nor Edwards is running as a third-party candidate, which is what would be necessary for them to be truly "spoilers."

8. The more I see posts such as this, the more convinced I am
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 01:15 PM by Benhurst
that, for the sake of our country, Edwards and Kucinich need to stay in, especially if this post really is coming from an Obama supporter. And, yes, Hillary should stay in, too.

18. Actually, OP is a Hillary supporter.
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 01:17 PM by IndianaGreen
They like to switch icons in order to post misleading information.

Read OP's posting history and you will get a sense of his/her ideological flavour.

20. Thanks for the heads-up.
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 01:36 PM by Benhurst
:hi:

Having looked over some of the past posts, I don't see how you can be so certain we're dealing with a Hillary supporter here and not an Obama supporter as claimed.

29. Obama's "ideological flavour" isn't that much different than
Hillarys. I have see him mention he is an Obama supporter several times. do you always just make shit up and state it as fact?

33. Indiana Green must think Obama is some far leftist.
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 01:38 PM by jonnyblitz
Therefore there is no possible way YOU could support him. I wonder if she knows far leftist Ben Nelson has endorsed Obama . Indiana Green will say he secretly endorses Hillary based on his "ideological flavour" :rofl:

11. And I'm calling on all candidates of both parties to stay in it as long as possible
So that American voters get to hear and see all their choices for as long as possible before they cast a ballot.

14. Gee, just mere snottiness instead of another threat
It must have been a tiring week.

The Senators from Illinois are not entitled to be unchallenged in their dominance.

15. I saw a DUer with an Obama icon
who had posted a very unflattering photoshop picture of Obama with much darkened features and with a cigarette dangling from his lip. This DUer claimed to be an Obama supporter, but his/her posts were anything but. I called him/her on it!

Just prior to NH primary, this DUer switched icons to Hillary and is now an open supporter of Hillary.

I wonder if this was not an isolated incident...

19. I'm calling on either Hillary or Obama to drop out...

because there is very little difference between them. It's good for the country to have a REAL choice.

23. No way!
I want a choice when I vote in the primaries other than female Republican Lite and African American Republican Lite. If you ask me Obama, is the spoiler for Hillary. The progressive votes are going to Edwards and Kucinich. Wait and see.

24. I think all of our candidates should drop out so "Unnamed Democrat" can win.
He/she always does better against the Repugs than our actual candidates do, anyway.

25. What Exactly Is Edwards Spoiling?
A two person race?
Why is a two person race a good thing? Because the media wants it?

Is he spoiling a perfect easy cruise to the nomination for your candidate? Do you think an easy primary helps the candidate prepare for the general election?

Remember that unlike the general election, in the primaries delegates are not awarded on a winner take all basis. So, there is plenty of room for several candidates.

Do you think Kucinich and Edwards don't have good messages and a presidential campaign is not a good way to communicate them?

You made a statement, now back it up. How exactly is Kucinich and Edwards staying in the race bad for our country?

28. Heh. For the good of the country,
I call on VOTERS to nominate Dennis Kucinich.

For the good of the country, I call on HRC and Obama to go back to the senate and learn how to oppose war as an instrument of international policy and corporate and religious influence in every sector of government.

30. Maybe Obama and Hillary should drop out so as not to be spoilers for Edwards or Kucinich.
They should ALL stay in the Primary race as long as they'd like.
