Former Kucinich supporters; Who are you supporting now?

I've gone to Edwards, with Obama a close second. How about you?

Edwards hurt the cause of single payer and the end of the Iraq war with his phony populism.

Edwards is not a good choice for either single payer or ending the war.

Single Payer as you can get. No less an economist than Paul Krugman has said it's the wrong plan for America. It will end up not being able to support itself, because of its voluntary nature, so prices will go up, forcing more people out, until it collapses.

Re Iraq: I have never heard Obama use the words "No residual forces, no permanent bases, no redeployment in the region". If he has, I'd like the link please.

What's up with that? It's not single-payer and it's not universal?

elective. He says cost cutting measures will reduce premiums making it, thus, affordable and, therefore, everyone will choose to buy it, but I think that is a very optimistic expectation.

People will take their chances, until they get really sick, then they'll either go on Medicare (IF it's till available) or buy Obama's insurance, at any rate, these late comers will drive prices up.

Real cost efficiencies come from Everyone being insured. This is done by: (from Edwards website) requiring businesses and other employers to either cover their employees or help finance their health insurance; creating new tax credits; expanding Medicaid and SCHIP; reforming insurance laws; taking innovative steps to contain health care costs; creating regional "Health Care Markets" to let every American share the bargaining power to purchase an affordable, high-quality health plan; increasing choices among insurance plans, and cut costs for businesses offering insurance. Once these steps have been taken, requiring all American residents to get insurance.

P.S. It is said that Hillary's and Edwards's health care plans are more alike than Obama's and either of theirs.

But I have no idea whether the proposed plans may end up with features that make that impossible.

for the long haul.

Ever hear of the golden rule? I recommend it highly in politics, because your behavior gives others the license to treat you the way that you act and the fact is no candidate is perfect.

The assumption that your opinion is valid isn't a valid assumption unless you recognize that it also applies to others, so if you think it doesn't apply to others, then, logically, it doesn't apply to you either.

I'm a straight party Dem voter now that my man is gone.

I may make my decision on my way in the door Feb. 5th.

I like his anti-corporatist platform.
I like his policy proposals to help the poor and middle class.
I really, really like (given the massive US budget deficit) that he has proposed a plan to pay for these policies.
I like the fact that he did apologize for his vote on the Iraq war.

*I'll be voting for Edwards in the primary-- I'll work for the Democratic nominee in general election whomever that might be.

I will (probably) vote for the nominee, but I cannot in good conscience support any of the remaining candidates.

Edwards, Clinton and Obama just as the rest of the propertied class is not going to emancipate us. It is the solidarity of the working classes that will accomplish that end.

For years you've witnessed it. REAL CHANGE requires direct action and not just ballot reform. The election process itself is owned and controlled by the propertied class. Control of the nation will not be ceded by the master mercey towards the working class.

single tactic that will set us free from this BS process.

The issue(s) MUST become the individual's single highest priority, over party, over $$$$, and even over "winning". But with that said, in regards to winning, I am hopeful that, under certain circumstances, you can steer toward a dialectic between "winning" and an issue that results in some progress on the issue, at minimum, if not actual "winning". And that WILL eventually allow us to make a viable issue of the process itself as long as we NEVER forget what our REAL priorities are, i.e. the Issues.

Solidarity, inthebrain!

I'd actually already gone towards Edwards despite Kucinich's continued and admirable candidacy. But as of now I'm on the Obama bandwagon.

I believe he is the only one left who might actually DO something for 'we the people'
At least I hope he will.

Either of the the other two I will vote for in the GE but not support.
