No offense to Edwards, but that would be a damn shame!

ETA: I think it would be a shame because we would have blown our chance to put a qualified woman or racial minority in office.

2. not really
I can live with Obama or Edwards, so I'm fine. Both of them seem a lot more genuine about what they're going to do than Clinton for me. Edwards in particular.

3. opposite
I think it would be great.
We will win in 2008. I just hope we can be less neo-con centered and more liberal:kick:

4. Let The Squabbling Continue
of course, Edwards will have a hard time rising to the top since the media has been working since 2006 to make this a two person race and a lot of Democrats are just like sheep and go along with what Iowa, New Hampshire and the media has to say.

11. The only thing I'm afraid of, is that your fear won't be realized.
Go Edwards!

15. Go Johnny Go
Let Obama continue his sexism and the Clinton's their racism.

The candidate who represents ALL the people will rise to the top.

18. Yes, this is the one and only chance of putting.....
a woman or black man in the White House. And that's what it's all about? :shrug:

20. I hope you're right, since Edwards has the best chance of winning...
Hillary's negative rating is 47%, while McCain's is 29%.

22. I'm so SICK of this being about putting a woman or minority
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 03:55 PM by Blue_In_AK
in office. To me that's just as sexist/racist as saying they shouldn't be in office. It's about the EQUALITY and the ISSUES. John, even though he suffers from the "liability" being a white male, has just as much of a right to be president as the other two. Jeez..........

ed. (Or four, I should say -- can't forget Dennis and Mike.)
