I could vote for Edwards
Although I still think Kucinich is the only real progressive, I could see myself voting for Edwards after last night's debate.

Hillary and Obama were pathetic overall, Hillary more so. Hillary came across as deceptive, defensive and trival at times (Obama took a speech off his website -- wow, that's a big point). Obama fumbled for words too often, and let's face it, there isn't much substance to his "vision." Plus, I don't want someone who wants to make nice with the Nazis. We need to drive them out of the political scene.

I don't like Edwards health plan -- we need single payer, and his record as senator was not very good, but it's pretty clear that he is not beholden to corporate interests, and therefore he would be a step in the right direction.

The best that could be said about Clinton or Obama is that even if they are unlikely to move us in the right direction, they won't be moving backwards either. Not much of an endorsement, but that's the way it is. The nazis have moved the political debate so far to the right, that a moderate conservative (e.g., Clinton) is labeled "liberal" and nazis buggers are simply "conservative."
