Edwards winning BIG in DU Fundraising drive. I wonder if Mrs. Edwards has been donating!
We know she checks in here and there. I hope she has something to do with his big lead...be nice if she is still lurking around!

8. Why is it dumb?
Edwards has a lot of support on the board but certainly no more than Obama I don't think. It's all in fun anyway.

14. Maybe Mrs. Edwards donates to DU anyway. Surely she would vote for John. Not to pump his numbers
to make him "look" more favorable but because she is his wife. My point is that it looks like somebody (or people) donated a lot to DU and voted for Edwards. I am not trying to take anything away from his support on the board and certainly not Mrs. Edwards.

4. LOL. Hey, you ever figure he might be legitimately winning?

I think you'll be surprised when people actually start voting in the primaries.

7. The simple FACT is that he's NOT *legitimately* winning. Dennis Kucinich has been
set back two or three times now with this little "game" they're playing during this fundraiser. Dennis Kucinich has been the hands down winner so far.

I think *you'll* be the one surprised when people actually start voting in the primaries.

12. The simple FACT is there is no such thing as really "winning", its for FUN
But Edwards hasn't gotten a major powerup yet, so his "steps" are legitimate at this point. I'm going to donate later on and give Edwards some more steps, and if I get a dirty trick powerup I'm moving Kucinich to 0 steps. Take that Kucinich people, Edwards all the way!

29. Ok, I can dig what you're saying here...
Have at it, my friend. I'll support Kucinich all the way until he drops his campaign, then I'll support Edwards. I really like Edwards, don't misunderstand that, but right now I'm liking Dennis Kucinich better and I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to say so...

PEACE!

27. Move the goal posts often?
Who said anything about winning a nomination? The issue was about this "race" or whatever the game is that's being played with this donation drive.

Let me know when you have something relevant to the issue to speak of..

32. Relevant? THIS IS A GAME.
Edited on Mon Nov-12-07 01:35 PM by EstimatedProphet
There is no relevance. So, why talk about this game as if there is?

Here, this is obvious to pretty much everyone, but just in case:

:sarcasm:

BTW you're the one that mentioned the primaries, not me. That at least implies that you think this game has some real-world connection.

I guess it's all just fun and games for now though... no, I don't think Elizabeth Edwards is here running up steps for John...

until SOMEBODY used a powerup, hee hee.

Actually he's been set back twice.
The DIRTY TRICK switched Edwards and Kucinich who was holding the lead at the time. Then the ENDORSEMENT moved Kucinich back to the middle.

Obama has not escaped notice either, he was struck with the OUT OF GAS 'powerup' and sent to the back.

Since it's a game and all in fun I plan to enjoy it to the fullest. :D

10. If Edwards has support, it's because the Mrs posts on DU?
OR... it could be some other campaign isn't getting their money's worth from their paid internet help?

Ever think of that? Many of us don't view Clinton or Obama as electible and like Edwards position and think he'd clean up in a general election.

23. THAT is my point. OP seems to suggest Edwards has his wife as support
Edited on Mon Nov-12-07 12:06 PM by havocmom
I know better. Lots honest Edwards supporters here. ;)

Please note, subject line of my other reply WAS A QUESTION to the OP's suggestion that Edwards was ahead because his lovely wife posts here and may have donated him into the lead of our little farce run. ;)

17. My only point is that Edwards has an exageratedly large lead IMO.
He could easily be winning but I was just pointing out that it is exaggeratedly large. It's all for fun anyway...relax!

25. Evaluate the GAME and you will see it is not a realistic poll of support
Game. Plays available that allow random contributors to skew the results.

Game, not a poll.

If it was just a poll with dollars as the ballot, well, the winner would be pretty easy to guess. ;)

24. It could have been all those cats that escaped the hired assassins of other candidates?
:rofl:

People, look at all the wild card plays possible. The race is a game to raise money for DU, not an accurate poll of support for anybody.

But, it could be the Cat Defense League that is putting Edwards ahead :rofl:

Edwards is king of the work week. That probably has to do with where the support comes from.

I made a larger than usual donation to give Edwards a boost. And last I looked, I wasn't married to him.
