I've decided to cast my ballot for Edwards to show my support for the ISSUES he espoused

My own little protest. I have never cast a "send a message" vote before, but what the hell.

I will step back into line when whichever historical candidate prevails. I will be fine with either Clinton or Obama, but neither one has swayed me yet.

1. Whew! I thought you were talking about the general election!

I really wish John had done better.

2. You're right-We need to continue voting 4 John E on Feb 5 because

the more votes he gets, the more delegates go to him, and the more he will be
able to continue to influence the two remaining candidates to incorporate John's
issues in their campaign.

He has framed the issues all along, and the two are talking his talk, :) stole his populist lines, by making sure John has more delegates by voting for him even though he has "suspended" he'll have the delegates to make them promise to
not just talk the talk, but walk the walk....something that not either is doing when it comes to corporate money and lobbyists.

3. To get John Edward's supporters to vote for them BO and HC

must adopt everything John Edwards stood for. Obama is the closest. End corporate rights. End the War. Socialized medicine.
Tax cuts for the poor and middle class. :dem:

4. Why don't you just go out and have an ice cream cone?

Your vote will not protest anything at all. Your vote will only entertain your brain cells.

5. This viscious stuff by his supporters is a reason Obama would never get my vote
