Question to supporters of all candidates.
People on this board spend a lot of time telling us about their candidate's electability (He/she connects better, he/she will fight better, he/she polls better...).

But, for the most part, there is a total silence on why I should support any of them if I do not care about the "American Idol" race and would rather support a candidate I feel more comfortable on issues and ideas.

Can you tell us why I should support your guy/woman based on where they stand.

1. You have it turned around
it isn't me who needs to validate my choice, it is up to you to validate your choice to yourself

2. I am not asking to validate your choice, but to convince me about your candidate.

At this point, I am still totally undecided, and far from being excited at the idea of supporting anybody.

All the talks about the horserace and electability turn me off. If you do not think the person you support is worth promoting, OK, but, if not, may be you may want to make the point of why you think he (she) is worth promoting.

4. I honestly think it is too early in the
process to make a commitment to anyone, I am one that likes to let all of the dust settle, so to speak, so I can see clearly
