Anyone but Hillary Clinton: Who's on board?
Advertisements [?]
I'm an Edwards supporter, and in the past, I've defended Clinton in order to damage Obama, who's competing with Edwards for second place. Recently, however, I've come to the conclusion that we should avoid a Hillary Clinton nomination at all costs. She's an empty shell of a human being with no convictions. Another corporatist president in the pocket of the People's Republic of China is not what I'm looking for.

An Edwards presidency would be a return to old-school, pre-DLC Democratic policies. An Obama presidency would mark the beginning of a fresh new foreign policy, and it would likely instantly result in a great boost of political capital on the international stage.

Either of these is preferable to a Clinton presidency.

I urge all Edwards supporters to support Obama if Edwards becomes non-viable, and I urge all Obama supporters to do the same if Obama no longer has a good chance.

Let's not allow Hillary Clinton to do what Humphrey did in 1968. The "inevitability" of her nomination sickens me, and I will do my part to stop it.
