[DemocratSinceBirth]

Who do you support and why?

1. I've already stated it clearly enough, I think...

3. That's Interesting

You like Edwards because he wants to highlight there is a "class war"... It seems Obama wants to deny its existence and break through the red state/blue state or rich/poor divide...

[Renew Deal]

2. I'm still undecided

I can't pick one.

[MethuenProgressive]

4. I support our eventual nominee.

Even if it's one of those two.

[bunnies]

5. both. nt

[racaulk]

6. If I had to choose one of those two, it would be Edwards.

But I will gladly support either of them in the general election.

[emilyg]

7. Neither.

[Ytzak]

8. I support Edwards...

Health Care proposal, Education proposal, Energy Independance

9. John Edwards because he will fight for progressive values.

14. If you wan't progressive values, Obama has proven himself. Edwards has not

Edwards senate voting record more resembled that of the conservative Republican agenda than it did anything close to a progressive agenda. Anyone can claim they're progressive for purposes of sucking up to the progressive Democratic base during the Primaries, but of these two candidates in this poll, only one of them is a REAL progressive. The other one is a faux progressive.

[jsamuel]

15. Wholeheartedly disagree, but thanks for your opinion.

[mtnsnake]

18. So you're saying that you think the official Senate voting records of each one are false?

That's what my post was about, the official records of each one.

10. I'd vote for Gravel before I'd vote for Edwards...nt

[Adelante]

17. Ditto nt

[Virginia Dare]

11. Edwards/Obama is my team.....n/t

[oasis]

12. Edwards is the least delusional of the two.(eom)

[Beaverhausen]

13. I support Edwards but I really like Obama

and would be happy with an Edwards/Obama ticket.

[mtnsnake]

16. I support Obama in this poll because he's the only REAL progressive between the two of them

as is proven by comparing their voting records while in the Senate.

Obama's progressive record is right up there in the top 10%, along with Hillary's, while Edwards progressive voting record among Democrats was near the bottom. Overall, Edwards was just about as conservative a Democrat you could get, and if by some miracle he gets the nod, you'll see him flip-flopping right back to his old conservative ways for purpose of competing in the general election.

Something I read yesterday.

22. Two thumbs-up from me. It proves again what a hypocrite the guy is

....and to think he's begging for people to take a pledge to abstain from voting for the very same things that he himself voted for in the past. What a loser this guy is and how deceitful, too.

That article should be posted as a thread.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

19. Edwards because of his healthcare plan and his anti-corporate stance now

And when he was a trial lawyer.

Obama is my #2.

[redqueen]

20. Edwards - trust him more on free trade / labor issues. (nt)

23. with John Edwards as President

with John Edwards as President
it won't be all about him!

it will be about us -- the American People!


This is not "an Ego thing" with Edwards --
This is about Sacrifice, and Hard Work,

and Fighting to take America Back!

Will we be the nation
that cared more about protecting Exxon's Profits,
than we did about protecting the Planet?


It is time to Tear Down the Wall around Washington!

John Edwards has the backbone, and the passion, to do just that!

Do we?
