2. I voted my conscience...
because

1. Nobody else earned my vote.
2. If forced to try to pick someone else, I honestly can't.
3. I swore that Edwards was my primary candidate, and so he remains. (though I will support whomever ends up with the nomination)
4. He can still pick up delegates. While clearly not enough to win a nom, he can use those delegates as leverage in future dealings with the other candidates.
5. I sent my absentee ballot in 2 weeks ago. (though honestly, if I was voting today, my choice would be the same)
6. If you can't vote your conscience in a primary, when the hell can you?
