A question for Edwards supporters
Would his endorsement of either candidate make a difference for you?

2. No
why would i?
Edwards did not create my values.
Edwards did not expand my values.
He was the best fit for my value.

4. NO!
If either candidate wants my vote, they need to stop the BS and address the "real" issues, and give me some concrete plans on how they will change this country. Talk is cheap, I want substance!

13. NPR reported that it sounds like he won't endorse...
Maybe JE knows his supporters well enough to figure they'll do what they want ~ I was an Edwards supporter who went to Obama after SC because, after watching Bill Clinton on the trail, I decided that I like the idea of joining with younger voters to move the country forward better than the idea of going back to a Clinton WH.

16. No, what they actually DO and COMMIT TO is what MIGHT get me to vote for them!
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 11:51 AM by calipendence
Otherwise, I'll be looking to do things like draft Gore, encourage Sanders to run, etc.

Endorsements are about celebrity worship. That's why I didn't care about the Kennedy's endorsements. It's probably a lot of people like me that weren't swayed by all of these other Obama endorsements, that made them realize that someone needed to strong arm Edwards into pulling out, or they'd have a brokered convention to deal with! Unfortunately, whatever they had over Edwards worked, and we who are looking for progressive solutions have all lost!

The PARTY (and the candidates it has chosen to have remaining) NEEDS to show that it is still progressive or it has lost me today!

20. Absolutely, the election is for the people not for the candidates
I don't give two hoots about anyones destiny.
I care about using the tiny little piece of democracy that I control (my vote), to communicate what I want for our country

25. Not in the presidential race. Maybe in some other contested races about which I am less informed.

None of the candidates interest me at all. I might go with Obama just because I don't want a Hillary nomination but I'm not thrilled with it at all. I might not even bother showing up for the caucus. I dunno what I'm gonna do.

30. No. But I'll be supporting
Hillary after today. Now if Bloomberg enters the race that may be another story down the road.
