This ain't over - and I'm glad for that
Its hard being uncommitted. Congrats to the Obama fans. Good Luck to the Edwards and Clinton fans.

I only wish we could have a debate on the **issues** ...... not the bullshit, manufactured by the media non-issues.

Sadly, even here on DU, all I see are the same manufactured by the media non-issues being tossed around as if it fucking mattered.

It doesn't.

Who is going to give us universal, single payer health care?

Who is going to worry about the middle class?

Who is going to give a hand to the least of us?

Who is going to restore our reputation abroad?

Who is going to repair the basic, structural economic faults in our country?

Who is going to bring to justice the criminals who have run rampant the past seven years?

Who will restore back to me my country?

And so on.

I've heard all the endless palaver. The spin, the bullshit, and the seeming facts. NONE of you have changed my mind.

I'm still here with my arms folded across my chest waiting for someone to show me.

I can be wooed ...... but I ain't easy.

And this primary season is far, far, far from over.

4. I'm STUCK On John Edwards... No Matter What!! I Have Some Gut
feelings about Obama, and worse ones about Clinton. Either way, Edwards will get my vote and only HE will get my vote for ANYTHING.!

Sorry that's how seriously I feel about him as a candidate, person and a LEADER! If America still wants to vote for BIG MONEY... go right ahead, we'll see what will happen relatively soon.

Obama got a boost because of how the Clintons have been acting, and voters seem to have decided that it was piling on. I won't ever vote for Clinton, but I will say she's much more capable than Obama. Hey, none of us may have to worry about the WH for the Democrats, and I know that seems unreal, but I've seen it before.

9. Listen to and research Edwards.
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 08:49 PM by Armstead
My support for Edwards is based totally on issues -- Plus I think as a person he has the heart to push through an agenda that would put America on the right track.

10. Honestly .......
..... I'm quite familiar with each of the three still in it. Actually, I was familiar with the stances of all of them, even when we had a whole herd still in the running.

None of them made the sale.

While I am uncommitted, I am as far as one can be from uninformed.

12. I never said that you were uninformed
But I am simply pointing out that -- whether you agree or disagree with him -- Edwards has specific plans for change (as does Obama).

11. Edwards
We knew it wouldn't be easy to take back our country. Democracy is hard sometimes but worth the fight.
