the democratic candidates are kind of all the same

[Enrique]

with the exception of Kucinich, who is distinct from the rest.

So all this intense feeling by supporters of a particular candidate toward some other candidate is kind of insane.

An idea for people who really really dislike some candidate. Suppose you let go of that strong feeling? I get the idea that people think they for some reason should feel that strongly, but my suggestion is to ask yourself, why? Would the world end if you eased up a little?

1. I'm also confused by the intense dislike & wonder why people don't put that emotional energy into

explaining why they like their candidate rather than hate the other candidates.

2. Yes and no.

It would appear so on the surface. They are trying to sell to the same group of voters. One needs to discern whether the sales pitch is genuine. It is not out of line to expose the hypocrisy and lies of some campaigns.

3. mostly no.. Edwards is getting flack for addressing real problems an not being a camp follower, real

people suffer every day i dont get the feeling someone else writes his speaches..from what i have seen he is the only Anti-Fascist campaigning for the people, and he doesn't get press because of it...

[Enrique]

4. I don't think Edwards is that different

yes, he his populist message is distinct, but even Edwards supporters must realize that he will start compromising that message early in his presidency, and more likely during the general election.

5. You could be correct Enrique, however, he is very concerned in the

populist arena and has determination and he does believe he can bring about change for the good of the population. That being said, I understand where you think that could or would all have to change once he makes it (if he does) to the general election and once (if he were) in power. So, at this point, that is speculation.
