Still in the race, an Edwards Supporter checks in- [View All]

I wrote this in response to Saracat right here:

And I wanted to toss it into an OP so Edwards Supporters could check in. I want to thank Sara for her thoughtful post, and I want the people to read this that are not Edwards Supporters to take heed. I don't just vote, I get involved. As do a lot of Edwards Supporters, please, I'm asking you to keep that in mind when you post in the future.

I'll vote for D in the GE, it's what I've always done. That's the easy part. But I've said here all along, the only person that can end my support of John Edwards for President, is John Edwards. There is nothing fair weather about a guy that grew up a Cubs fan, and loved the Niners, not just in the hay days of the 80s through the mid 90's. No, I was a fan in the 60's and 70's too, and trust me, it was brutal. That guy is me. Hell, I've never gotten to vote my favorite candidate in the GE, and I'm not about to give up on that chance and the hope of casting a vote in the GE for John Edwards. Like Sara says, it ain't over, not by a long shot.

As I said, I'll give any Dem my vote, no way I'll cop out on that, but will I give my activism? Will I volunteer? That is left to be decided. I may try it like this, every time I see someone posting more chicken shit about John Edwards dropping out of the race, I"ll take a day off. If I went retro-active on this, hell, Barack or Hillary would be in a hole for my volunteer days.

One other thing, we're all grown ups here, I hope, and I'm going to ask other Edwards supporters to check in now, and say you'll check D when the time comes. Enough crazy talk here at Democratic Underground about not supporting the Democratic Candidate. We gotta do it, sorry guys. Now, when you check in here, and make that pledge, know that you're also making a pledge to work twice as hard now for Edwards. I'm not tiring in my support, and if you want to stop, then we don't need you on the bus.

I think it's no secret that I can't stand Hillary and Obama at this point, and if anyone has a problem with that, I guess that will have to be their problem. I think they are over hyped, overdone, and we are overloaded on their shit. But will I vote for either one of them? You bet. At the end of the game, you shake hands, it's that simple people.

Now I'm asking nice, please quit posting crap, about my boy. Let's do this like grown ups here.
