Poll question: Of The Top Three Dems, Who Leads From His/Her Gut?
Or, another way of saying it, who is the least cautious, least politically calculating of the top three Dems? Who trusts their immediate instincts the most?

1. Edwards all the way -
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 09:12 PM by waiting for hope
he's been the first to speak out against the Libby verdict, Gonzales resignation, and more - whereas with the other two, the time it gets for them to put out a statement, you feel that the statement has been through a few drafts and overseen by at least three political advisors. Plus, Edwards has been holding informal meetings in people's homes - no script, no cameras, just him and the people. That takes a ton of guts to do that.

3. Edwards gets the nod based on his reply to the question on Gen. Pace's comment about LGBTs
and homosexuality being immoral. Obama dodged the question. Hillary said that she would leave that to others to decide. It took hours for the Hillary campaign to formulate an answer.

4. Gods, haven't we had enough of that from Dubya? Can we please vote for brains next time?...
...instead of whodya wanna have a beer with?

Bush goes with his gut all the time, and (to extend the metaphor) we got nuthin' but sh*t to show for it.
