Poll question: Where'd you go Edwards supporters?
I can't remember who all the Edwards people are... so where'd you all go?

2. Where's the "vote for other offices but not president" choice?
That's not to say I will do that -- there are many months to go -- but if I had to vote tomorrow, that's about where I am now. "Stay home" isn't a good choice.

3. At the caucus, I wanted to be Edwards/Uncommitted
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 04:47 PM by Blue_In_AK
but we were vastly outnumbered by Clinton-Obama people, so I finally went with Clinton because she was so far behind. Obama took 75% here, and I just didn't feel like joining the herd.

I personally don't see much difference between the two. They both were my last possible choices, but, of course, I will vote in November for whoever ultimately comes out on top.

4. Undecided, leaning towards Clinton
Sorry, I tend to like candidates with substance and experience.

6. Unfortunately HRC is the evil we know
So I voted for her. Obama's idea of reaching out to the people who robbed and killed us for the last 28 years(minus the Big Dog's years) makes me more than a little sick, assuming he isn't just being cute for more votes.

10. Other. I'm in the "don't give a shit" category. I don't like Clinton or
Obama, so will prob just pull the lever for whichever of them gets the nod from the big guys, and keep planning my escape from this madhouse.

11. Already voted for Edwards. Will vote Dem in the general, who ever it is. Very slightly lean toward
BO now, but that could easly change, and seems to often.

17. Reading your post is like looking in a mirror.
We have identical views right now. I already voted for Edwards so I don't have that pressure on me. I'll vote Dem in the general but I'm looking at Edwards for guidance since I have no real strong feelings either way. I'll support whoever he endorses since I don't really care either way.

12. Hillary.
Not an easy decision, but her platform is the closest to Edwards.

18. Clinton, Here is my story.
I had been planning to vote for Edwards in our primary but when he pulled out I just couldn't decide who to vote for, coming up to the night before Super Tuesday here in CT. In a long dinner conversation, my husband (a STRONG Hillary supporter) said something to me that I took to heart: he essentially asked me "what happened to the strong feminist that I married?). I know that sounds like dirty pool, but it was heartfelt. That night I had a hard time sleeping. I kept wondering if I would EVER have another chance in my life to vote for a woman to be president. The next morning I saw for the 3rd time the ad for HIllary featuring RFK, Jr., where he compared his father to Hillary. I am of an age that remembered Bobby Kennedy and his fight for the poorest Americans. I made up my mind and was at peace with my decision. It was hard and then it was easy.

Now it looks like it will go the other way and I am still at peace with it. I will support Barack Obama with all my heart and soul if he becomes our candidate.
