1. Yes
Yes, we need fraternity not fratrecide now.

I'm hoping Edwards gets the VP slot. I got off to a late start hearing his speeches, and I think his working class roots would greatly balance the ticket. If, God-forbid, Kerry should be incapacitated after winning, I think Edwards would carry forward very strongly into coming years, especially for the disadvantages and in the South.

I only wish this country had a primary system that let the whole damn population have a say. I have never, ever, had a primary vote count, as it has always been essentially decided.

On top of that, I vote in Kansas where the electoral college screws Democrats election after election.

The system is essentially rotten and undemocratic, which is why we have it!

Support direct elections, campaign reform and national run-off primaries.
