So would I. Lately I have been considering voting for him, even though he won't win. That doesn't matter to me though, I'll vote my choice regardless.
Irvine511 said:i don't know why, but i find Edwards full of it.
i can see why he was such a great trial lawyer, and that's about all i can see.
but that's just me.
In an appearance on "Hardball," in mid-December, he said Edwards "now has the most progressive message across a broad spectrum of corporate power damaging the interests of workers, consumers, taxpayers, of any candidate I have--leading candidate I have seen in years." He went on to explain that "the key phrase is when he [Edwards] says he doesn't want to replace a corporate Republican with a corporate Democrat." Nader told Politico, " it's the only time I've heard a Democrat talk that way in a long time." For Ralph Nader--and take my word for it, please--that is rare praise for a leading Democratic politician.

joyfulgirl said:Edwards is tougher and smarter, imo. The Clintons would get the job done, too, I just don't like them.

As much as Hillary wouldn't be my first choice, I do think that she has no qualms about playing dirty and her team as well. There is no way the Clintons would get swiftboated, and given how the Republicans go about discrediting people, maybe the only language they understand is that of equal ruthlessness.
joyfulgirl said:
In the end, she has the experience and savvy to navigate the political waters here and globally.
anitram said:I think it's hilarious how the Republicans are suddenly all hanging on to McCain like he's their own personal Jesus, after having written him off for pretty much all of last year (except STING here, I have to hand it to him, he's devoted). Everyone else was crowing about RUUUUUUUUUDY and Fred and diamond had a lot of man love for Mitt, and so on.
But suddenly, when faced with the prospect of a hillbilly being beaten by every Democrat on the ticket, everyone is changing their tune.

Finally, the reason I'm not supporting Huckabee (who I'm assuming that hillbilly remark was aimed at) isn't because he'll lose as much as it is because I don't think many of his stances are real conservative.
anitram said:
Could you elaborate on those stances?
2861U2 said:charm, smooth talk and evangelism and really investigate him.

I think that if you slightly change around the adjectives, you could pretty much make that statement about any candidate. The bottom line is that there will be many candidates who will get votes for stupid reasons (or in the case of Hilary Clinton, will be voted against for stupid reasons).
2861U2 said:
I'm sorry, I just don't see it. Especially comparing her with McCain (hopefully), she doesn't come close to his experience and accomplishments.

Also, he supports the Ten Commandments being displayed in every school. Now, as much as I think the Ten Commandments are important and rules everyone should live by regardless of your faith, even I wouldn't take it that far.
