So are there any Edwards people out there who would support Hillary?

[proud2BlibKansan]

I was just wondering. I am a Kucinich supporter and Edwards is my #2. But if he doesn't get the nomination, I am definitely leaning toward Obama rather than Hillary.

So how do other Edwards supporters lean? Hillary or Obama?

[More Than A Feeling]

1. Where's the "both stay in the senate" button?

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Sorry I don't follow what you mean

[More Than A Feeling]

5. I mean that I am not happy with either of them right now.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Oh me neither

I just was wondering if you HAVE TO pick one of them, which one you would pick.

[More Than A Feeling]

22. If you put a gun to my head, *sigh* I don't like Clinton slightly less right now.

But that in no way absolves her of Kyl-Lieberman, her anti-gay minister endorsements, her lack of a minimum wage raise in her economic plan, her too-slow Iraq withdrawal, her failure to apologize as edwards has, her campaign's snotty and condescending manner towards activists in the beginning of her campaign, her gawd-awful warmongering, lying, union-busting, self-loathing advisors, her corporate lobbyist lovefest... you get the idea.

48. Got it! ABC!!

[SeattleGirl]

2. Definitely not leaning toward Hilary, if I had to pick someone else.

Frankly, neither Hilary or Obama inspires me very much where their policies are concerned.

Just sayin'.

[Lisa0825]

3. Only as a last choice.

I'll vote for her if need be in the general, but I'd much prefer to vote for Edwards or Obama.

[awoke_in_2003]

40. Love your sig pic

two great Texas women- Anne Richards and Molly Ivens. I miss them both.

[PretzelzRule]

42. what you said

I feel the same way. Hillary only gets my support in the form of a vote in the Gen Election, IF she is the nominee...which I fervently hope does not come to pass.

My whole adult life I have had to pick the lesser of two evils in the presidential elections. I'm SICK of it. But I'll do what needs to be done and vote anyway. *sigh*

[99th_Monkey]

6. I'm also an Obama leaner, after Kooch and JohnE nt

[angstlessk]

7. If Edwards does not get the nomination...I will vote for whomever does

on the Democratic ticket... by then it will not be a choice between Hillary and Obama...it will be a choice between a repub and a Democrat!

[Catch22Dem]

8. I'm an Edwards supporter who will support the nominee

I wasn't born yesterday. I KNOW all of our candidates are better than ANY of theirs. I may be less enthusiastic about some versus others, but the eventual Dem nominee will make an excellent president.

[Inspired]

9. I've already cast my vote.

It was an honor to do so for John Edwards. It is a mute point for me.

[OhioChick]

10. Edwards is my #1.....

Obama would be my second choice.

[polichick]

11. Obama has really offended me with his anti-boomer, pro-Reagan rhetoric...

Unless he loses some of that arrogance and shows more respect for Democrats (including President Clinton), I'd rather vote for Hillary.

[trashcanistanista]

24. Me too.

But in the primary I am voting Edwards no matter what. I may lean Hill in the general if I have to.

[polichick]

27. My state votes so late it won't matter, but Edwards is my first choice too. nt

[hyphenate]

12. I'm somewhat ambivalent

My first choice is John, but I think I would go for Hillary second. I still see, IMHO, that Obama lacks the experience in some areas to bother me, but regardless of my own personal choice, I'm happy to see any of them in the white house so I can go back to capitalizing (pun intended) those words. ;)

[rwheeler31]

13. Court is the only

[patrice]

14. The longer we stay Un-Committed as 2nd choice, the further to the Left they have to go.

How far will they go???

Hillary has even mentioned Public Campaign Financing.

I want SOMEONE!! (besides DK, God bless him) to start talking about Election Reform and Paper Ballots.

Edwards or Un-Committed ALL of the Way!!

[polichick]

19. Very good point! :)

[patrice]

23. Yeah, the idea at the caucus is to get delegates if you can, but if you can't

stay un-Committed and solicit other un-Committeds in order to drive the other two toward Edwards's positions, which will be worked out at a brokered convention.

[krabigirl]

30. Sounds good to me!

[readmoreoften]

45. Interesting point. /nt

[Mother Of Four]

16. I can't stand HRC...

And tonight was just another example, (debate) The looks she was giving him during the first part of the debate were more than scathing. If she's going to sling mud, she needs to know when you pick it up you get muddy too.

It got so bad she was booed at one point.

I was totally turned off both of them tonight, however if I had to pick it would be Obama.

[enigmatic]

17. Hillary

After Edwards, she's my second choice.

[AndyA]

18. I will vote for Hillary if John isn't the nominee, but I WILL NOT vote for Barack.

His bigotry is something I cannot forgive him for.

Plus, I think this Rezko stuff is going to knock him on his butt when details start coming out at trial next month.

With Hillary, I'll hold my nose, and vote for her.

[Cha]

32. Yes, we get that from your

venomous posts.

[readmoreoften]

46. Well, hey, your candidate is reaping what he has sewn.

if he wants the fundamentalist anti-gay vote, then he's going to lose the rest of us. I wouldn't support a candidate with anti-Black or anti-Jewish extremist backers, why would anyone with a conscience refrain from aggressively criticizing candidates who manipulate the support of anti-gay extremists?

[jannyk]

20. Yes - here's one.

I'm with John to the bitter end. However, I prefer Hillary over Obama. I have a lot of issues w/Hills, but she's as tough as old boots and smarter than Bill. Obama, leaves me cold I'm afraid. Husband feels the same way - so i guess that's two.

[Mutineer]

21. Just won't vote.

Can't vote for HRC. This country can and has to do better than implement a hereditary monarchy. Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton. Fuck that.

[Catchawave]

25. Obama and Hillary are going to have to work very hard for my vote

Starting here on DU :evilgrin:

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Amen to that!!

:hi:

[Ravy]

26. I would lean towards Hillary if Edwards would drop out...

.. but I don't think he will.

I would support Obama if he was the nominee.

[krabigirl]

29. I'd vote for Hillary if I had to choose between the two.

[FlyingSquirrel]

31. I'm actually starting to lean more toward Hillary than Barack

Main reasons here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4150951

Plus he seems too cozy with the Right for my tastes.

Also I'm somewhat swayed by the anger the GLBT community has toward him. I have many friends and co-workers who are gay/lesbian and so it moves me a bit.

[mnhtnbb]

33. I'm with Edwards as long as he's in it. Hillary is distant #2 choice.

[PresidentObama]

34. I could, yes. I'm up in the air on whose my second choice. Was leaning towards Obama, now Hillary.

I just can't make my mind up.

Both good candidates.

I just hope John Edwards is still in the race on the 5th, so I can vote for him :)

[Danger Mouse]

35. Absolutely not.

I'd vote for her in the General Election, but with the understanding that it is SOLELY to prevent a republican from obtaining the white house.

[ChiciB1]

36. Edwards... Do Or Die! In Til The End!! I Live In Florida So I Think I Can Say

this with ease. My vote WON'T be missed or WON'T be counted... pretty simple. My county is STILL having voting machine screw-ups! So much for election progress!

[mzmolly]

37. Edwards or the nominee.

That's my position. :hi:

[Jim Sagle]

38. Edwards first, then Hill. Obama last.

[MrSlayer]

39. Only if forced to in the general.

Same with Obama. If Edwards goes out my vote goes to Kucinich.

[Monty__]

41. If John drops out....

before I get to vote (which he won't) I will vote for Obama. That being said, I will vote for any Democrat in the general election.

[VotesForWomen]

43. kucinich -> edwards -> clinton. nt

[readmoreoften]

44. I won't vote for Obama. I would probably vote for Clinton--although I don't want to.

Clinton is not only the 'devil we know', she's not the candidate of 'change'. Although you never know what she's going to do, you kind of always know it's going to be in the middle-- or back and forth.

Obama could very well shoot straight to the right. I think he's more likely to support faith-based funding (which has supported murderous anti-gay hate groups overseas). I think he's as likely to lean to the right on American expansionism and more likely to lean to the right on economic issues. I think his ideas of "uniting" with the right wing are absolutely batshit crazy. Couple this with rhetoric of "change" and "new ideas" and we'll have a generation of people who become hopelessly confused about what progressive ideas actually ARE.

I think Barack Obama will subvert the possibility of change in America. We don't need more confusing and muddied ideas.

With Clinton, we get at least get a weak clump of grass and rocks in the gigantic hole in the dam. With Obama, we get inspiring speeches about the importance of rubber boots.

[donheld]

47. Hillary is my 2nd choice behind John

Obama's got a economic and gay problem.
