I'm Not Supporting Obama
in the primaries, but he will enthusiastically get my vote in the general, should he be our nominee.

I find him to be thoughtful, passionate, at times inspiring, quick witted, warm and engaging. I think he would make a terrific president, and I am sure that any policy disagreements I may have with him would be overshadowed by areas in which we agree.

I think we have a great bench running this year, and the leading three or four would all offer disciplined, progressive leadership.

1. I feel the same about Edwards
Obama is my first choice but I think Edwards would make a great president.

4. And I feel just the opposite.
Either would be a godsend.

2. I really like Edwards, Obama and Richardson
But whoever we nominate has my full backing.

3. I've followed Democratic politics since 1968-its a very strong bench
Edwards, Clinton. Obama, Richardson, Dodd or Biden could all mop up the floor with any Republican running.

5. I feel proud of our 3 top tier candidates
I feel, however, that only Obama and Edwards would bring true change to our nation.

8. Well,
at least you are honest about it. I will try to remember your name so I won't get upset when you bash Obama. :-)

9. Fairness to all should be the goal, so thanks!
Compared to the Repubs we have a great field of candidates and the bickering will and should end.... with all coming together when it matters the most! I sincerely hope so, because the alternative is frightening!:):kick:
