Edwards Supporters: Please rate Kerry, Clark, and Dean

[TheBigDemo]

If Edwards drops after the Tennessee and Virginia Primaries, who would you line up with next? Please rate the other candidates:

Example:

Clark
Dean
Kerry

Also, please explain why if you can do so.

1. Kerry, Clark.................................Dean

I like Kerry and Clark. I'm not sold on Dean and have never been. He's not as "liberal" as the press perceives him to be, but I don't think he is electable. Post 9-11 we need a candidate with military credibility to compete with Chimpy. Both Kerry and Clark fill the bill, with Kerry being a good deal more campaign-ready than Clark. I love Edwards, but I feel he's not quite ready for "the big chair." I'd love to see a Kerry/Edwards ticket. I feel it's a winner.

2. Edwards

If Edwars drops out and I had to pick from those three, I'd be about as excited about the Democrats as I was in 2000. In other words, not very excited.

I guarantee you it will be Kerry if Edwards drops out, and it won't matter for whom I vote. And if it is Kerry, in the words of a Kerry supporter here, not much will change with America except for maybe a little tweaking. But we will still have an America in which it's possible for a guy like Bush to get elected president. And if that Bush isn't W in 2004 -- ie, if Kerry gets really lucky and wins -- we'll see Jeb Bush take over in 2008 maybe.

3. premise all wrong but we'll ignore that, Kerry. Other two strictly ABB.

Kerry is ABB as well. Dean and Clark are unsupportable to me. Neither is really fit to lead the free world IMO. At least Kerry will find a capable supporting cast.

Only Edwards has what it takes.

4. I will still vote for Edwards in the primary.

...and I will vote for the nominee in the General Election. I may even do some campaign work for the eventual nominee whoever it is.

I don't feel like I need to line up with anyone.
