If enough of us do it and we get a brokered convention...

1. Why don't people write in Edwards for a brokered convention?

2. I'm tempted to do the same here in WI.
I can't stand either of the two remaining candidates (assuming Gravel is no longer in it and he wasn't a favorite either). I'm so disappointed with our Party right now and the way they run things. The media had their say and got what they wanted. The corporations get what they want.

Neither of these candidates will do anything about global warming, poverty, or fixing our healthcare crisis (the latter they will make WORSE IMO).

What a bunch of hooey this all is.

7. I'm disappointed with our Party too.
However, I'll be god-dammned letting a repuke take the W.H/Congress again.

I'm not a Hillary supporter but if she wins the nomination, I'll hold my nose and vote for her.

Suck it up people. This IS the most important election in our history.

8. Bunch of hooey is right!
Our government, including our election process is nothing more than a huge hoax.

4. Why not vote for Edwards? He hasn't endorsed, he'll most likely keep his delegates
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 02:06 PM by redqueen

I'm sticking with Edwards. :)

5. Gore is the last hope of the party, and maybe the republic.
this is a dark day indeed if he ignores us

6. I'll be voting for Edwards on the 12th here. It made sense that he didn't
endorse, because he doesn't see either of them as agents of change.

I will, however, try to listen for differences between Hillary and Obama. From what I gather, it's do I want a woman president or a black president. Not much difference after that.

11. I disagree in IMHO.
To me, Obama/Edwards represents the most "change".

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton is not change.

14. I followed up that comment with a thread asking for differences between
the two. Summary ... I'm leaning to Obama and may make this my primary vote. If Hillary is the nominee, I will go ahead and vote for her (rather than write in Edwards, Kucinich, or Nader.)

9. Why not just stay home? That vote will mean as much as NO vote at all.
It might make you feel good, but it means nothing, because one person or another is going to win the state, and those delegates will be divvied up one way or another.


It's one way to feel self-righteous while avoiding a hard choice, I supose.

12. Now there's an idea
I hadn't thought of that.

Gore's my first choice, but we all know how he feels about that!
