I've just changed my avatar.
Up until this past week, I had been planning on voting for the probable second runner-up against Clinton in the Democratic primary.

This week I have decided that the primary election is no place to choose the lesser of two evils. I have decided to vote for Dennis Kucinich, whose positions most closely reflect my own. I encourage other DUers to do the same.

2. Congratulations In Whatever Choice You Make
I haven't changed my avatar since I registered... The reason I chose that person is because to me he reflected the perfect balance of compassion, toughness, realism, and liberalism...

5. Too young to remember him myself...
As a kid I really admired Mario Cuomo, though.

3. That's a stance I can respect.
Vote for who you want in the primary; that's a strong message to the Democrats about the makeup of the party (and just might result in a few more Lamonts.) Then vote to keep the Republicans out of office in the GE.

6. Too each their own
I like Biden as I am waiting for him to say something I don't agree with. It's fun trying.

11. Interesting litmus test
and it works for me! Then I have to trust the person saying that "something", and it comes down to Biden.

7. I sent Dennis some money last week.
The only reason my wife hasn't changed her party affiliation,is so she can vote for him in the primary.

But hey, this is Florida, so it may be meaningless anyway.

8. Yup, when we go to the polls on primary day
it'll probably be for the fresh air and exercise.

9. I've been there from the beginning.
I almost caved into supporting Edwards as more electable than Kucinich, but I changed my mind. We have to follow our hearts in this primary. After the primary then we will have to follow our minds.

13. I respect Biden,
and your choice to vote conscientiously rather than strategically.

14. I've been very impressed with what he has to say.
I like him when I see him on tv. He seems personable and genuine. He has solid ideas and the right philosophy so far as I can tell.
