My state's primary, Missouri, isn't until February 5th........

I HOPE that no other Democratic candidates drop out before then. I'd hate to think that my primary vote will wind up counting for nothing.......

But then, I'm sure there are a lot of DUers in the same boat as me!

2. My primary's before then, but it doesn't count.

So, I guess the only consolation I can offer is, be glad you've got a voice at all.

8. Same here...how depressing

Oh well, at least we get to go vote against the heinous new "tax reform" bill. THAT vote will count.

9. Edwards says he is in until the end and I hope he can stay in. I am

happy about Obama but I am ok with Edwards as well. If he doesn't win, I would really like to see him as Attorney General if the Dems win it all. Man can you hear the corporations shaking with Edwards as Attorney General. Like he said in the debate the other night, you can't play nice with these folks.

4. I hope Gravel and Richardson drop out before then

I wouldn't mind seeing Hillary drop out either, but that's just me.

6. My boat is long-sunk. PA doesn't waste its money until April 22nd. At least I

do not have to agonize about the impact or importance of my sacred franchise.

7. Same here.

But your vote will count for something - that's Super Duper Tuesday, when 20+ states hold their primaries/caucuses. That day will probably be the one that decides everything.

10. Same here

If the nomination is wrapped up by then, I will vote for someone else - like writing in Biden, Clark, etc.

12. Arkansas votes the same day

and I feel the same way. In 2004, we voted in May, and by that time only Kucinich and Kerry were on the ballot.

13. I think its to our (the democratic party voters) advantage to have as

many candidates in the race for as long as possible. As soon as a front runner is proclaimed the GOP will unite in attacking our candidate. Lets keep 3 or 4 until the convention.

(Of course the candidates need to eliminate their foes as quickly as possible. Which is causing the dissension here these days. The media/pundits want it wrapped up too quickly also.)
