Reply #9: it sucks that Kucinich dropped out

[harmonicon]

the only candidates I really liked were Kucinich, Richardson and Gravel. Being a Michigan citizen, I couldn't vote (well, I could have, but I saw participating in their farce of a primary as being completely pointless), but I think I would have voted for Kucinich. Since you still can vote, I really think you're best off voting for the person you'd most like to have as president. If that's Gravel, great. If it's Obama or Clinton, then that's good too. One of these three will be the Democratic nominee (and it probably won't be Gravel). I guess my point is, you could use your primary vote to vote against someone and have that person still get the nod - what did you prove if you did that? what did you help? It seems like that would only give a false showing of support to whoever it was you did cast that vote for. There's not point in trying to guess who's going to win, so I think it's best for everyone to just vote for who they'd like the best from the options they have, just like in the general election.
