So far I really haven't made a choice for the presidental candidate but..
I am so sick and tired of all of the squabbling over Clinton,Obama, and Edwards that I will be voting for anyone but the previously mentioned,except for republicons. One of these candidates seems to be getting a little desperate and is throwing any and every thing into the debate.

1. Sounds like poor reasoning
You have ruled out 3 candidates because some of their supporters squabble in an internet forum?

2. No. I am not going to vote for them in the primary because..
the media thinks that they are picking our candidates for us and I have a problem with them all.The squabbling is part of the problem because the more they tell me how good they are it convinces me to look elsewhere.

4. you seem to be allowing the MEDIA to make up your mind for you
Forget what the media is saying and do the research yourself! It's not that hard.

Really - we accuse the freepers for taking their stance according to what the media says - you're doing the same thing, aren't you? :shrug:

6. I did my research as always! That's why I will not let you
or anyone else tell me who to vote for. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! Your comments are what I am talking about. You don't like it because I said I won't vote for one of these candidates which I suspect is your choice. By the way, don't compare me to the freepers...

3. Give it time
No reason to make up your mind this early.

Get used to the squabbling. It's a primary.

5. Yes
and do we have to remind people that this discouragement is precisely the effect that hostile media intends? The difference between a robust debate and this so-called desperate shouting is always the suppressive and interfering effect of the MSM. The evidence for a concerted effort to misquote, frame and game OUR primary is overwhelming and includes the major newspapers, wire services and the usual TV suspects and pundits.

And this saintlier than thou judgment is not going to help principled Dems get a candidate who can and will succeed or fight for them at all. If it ends up in casting no vote at all it is a victory for fascism and passive entitlement to the system we profess to disdain.

7. As it pertains to your last sentence...
it won't happen with me I intend to vote no matter what. In the end I will be voting for the candidate that is chosen by the party and not the media, which may be the three candidates I mention previously.

8. Coco:

There is nothing wrong with checking out all of the candidates before you make up your mind. It is called making an informed decision. I agree with you that the media is trying to choose our candidate for us or at least the field we have to choose from. Good Luck to you. The most important is to VOTE DEMOCRAT!

you may find some better choices among the rest.

I certainly did.
