How Would You Describe your Opinion of John Edwards

[MadBadger]

I want to see the opinions of DU of each candidate and their spouses. I was going to just do BC, but gotta be fair.

[Squatch]

1. I only wish he had a snowball's chance in hell to get the nod.

[Kucinich4America]

2. Why do you say he has no chance?

45 states haven't even voted yet.

4. I Voted

He's very positive but I still gotta vote for Hillary even though it wont count. Also, he's very cute. :)

[Jed Dilligan]

9. You're right, it's a multivariate issue

My opinion of him is very positive but I don't think he has a chance in this campaign. My decision will be based on three variables:

A. Opinion of candidate
B. Chance of winning nomination
C. Chance of winning Presidency


For Clinton, A is moderate to low, B is very high, C is moderate to low. For Obama, A is high, B is moderate to low, and C is extremely high. For Edwards, A is extremely high, B is low to nonexistent, and C is high. I will probably vote for Obama.

Of course there aren't enough option lines to work three variables into a DU poll.

3. Can some people randomly help me so I dont always look shameless in my Kicking!

5. Will I get banned if I answer honestly? nt

[Snotcicles]

6. Don't bother you've already made it clear. Over and over again. nt

7. I voted very positive, but

only because there was not a choice superlative to that

[KittyWampus]

8. somewhat negative- here's why. I WANT a populist message but Edwards' packaging sucks

He is putting the stink of death on Populism by framing it in negative and out-of-date way.

Then, there's the fact that his actual record as Senator and POTUS candidate last time around is very much at odds with his current populist message. In the GE he'd get slammed repeatedly on that. We're talking mulitiple substantial issues he's done 180's on.

Additionally, there's his performance as VP candidate last time around.

All that said, I hope his supporters hang in there and fuck the people suggesting he drop out.

[Mythsaje]

13. His record as a Senator is NOT at odds with his rhetoric

and what the hell do you mean, out of date?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. huggable and very able

[MadBadger]

11. I voted positive

He used to be a lot lower but has really climbed for me.

[MadBadger]

12. First Kick

[mopinko]

14. phony as a $3 bill, if you ask me.

:shrug: felt sorry for him last night, tho. looked like 20 miles of bad road.
