1. mydd.com
at mydd.com, there is a very good article about John Edwards and why he is the type of "change" we need as a country.

4. Agreed!
While I love Obama and the enthusiasm he brings for me and many others to this campaign. I do not want to see the supporters of other candidates disenfranchised before they get to cast their vote.

One of the most encouraging things so far in the primaries has been the turn out and while i think Obama deserves a lot of credit for it he doesn't deserve all of it. There are record numbers turning out for all Dem candidates and I would like to see them stay engaged as long as possible.

Voting is fun I walk away from that voting booth every time feeling good about myself and my country. I want as many people as possible to feel that before we have our nominee. Even if it means risking my guy losing.

6. I agree it is too early. They are solid candidates and they should continue for now, if anything to
test Obama.

10. this campaign has just started, since when after two states
is a winner declared, oh, that's right this is Bush's media, but seriously we have a long way to go, and Feb. 5th will be here soon. It is way to early, and it's only going to get more interesting and dirtier. Our next Democratic debate is January 15th in Las Vegas.

9. HIJACKED IN MICHIGAN
HELP -- WE’VE BEEN HIJACKED!

The Michigan State Primary is a mess. I want to vote for John EDWARDS but cannot because the Democratic National Committee (DNC) sanction Michigan because the primary date was moved up AND John EDWARDS, Obama, Biden, and Richardson removed their names from the Michigan ballot.

Independents MUST choose Democrat or Republican to vote in the January Primary OR vote Uncommitted.

My only choices are to vote for those named on the ballot - OR - vote UNCOMMITTED. We are being told to vote UNCOMMITTED and if there are enough uncommitted votes delegates will be assigned AND THESE DELEGATES WILL CAST THEIR VOTES AS THEY SEE FIT IN THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. This stinks! Watch this video on YouTube -- http://youtube.com/watch?v=1a5y75EiRsc

I am going to pass on the January Primary vote and wait until the August, 2008 Primary to cast my vote of John EDWARDS. I suggest all others who wished to vote for him or the other candidates NOT on the ballot to do the same. Here is a link to view the Michigan State Democratic Party's video telling us to vote UNCOMMITTED. Please watch it and pass the word to all Democratic and Independen voters of Michigan. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1a5y75EiRsc

Hiway

12. Edwards will quit first
Hillary will not quit. She will keep fighting until the very end. She may or may not get the nomination, but she will not quit. It is not in her. She is tough and she has many tricks and tactics that she and her team have not begun to use to win.
