This Edwards supporter is now with Obama

[rndmprsn]

i feel like my heart is broken and i loved the guy...but now that he has dropped out, i am giving my full support to senator obama.

we need to turn the page on the politics of fear, and division...and most importantly GEORGE W BUSH.

thanks for tuning in....

[Extend a Hand]

1. me too!

:)

[LakeSamish706]

2. Yep, I'm with you folks... He's not an Edwards... but... n/t

[mckeown1128]

3. welcome!!! nt

[Tennessee Gal]

4. Leaning that way, but really haven't made up my mind.

I feel fortunate that I was actually able to cast my vote for John in early voting prior to knowing that he would drop out before Super Tuesday.

I will vote Democrat in the GE, but it won't be with much enthusiasm.

[dogman]

5. Good first step.

Now take a giant leap for mankind. Move to Hillary.

6. Welcome! Don't forget to volunteer! nt

9. i'm in baltimore MD...

downtown you would think obama is the ONLY candidate running...strangely lots of ron paul signs here too.

but yeah...i was an activist for john kerry in 2004, obama has inspired me and i will now give him my full support.

[zanne]

12. Did your experience with the John Kerry campaign...

Sour you on voluteering again? Just wondering. I volunteered for Obama in NH for ten months and it can really wear you out after awhile. I think I'd do it all over again, though! I'm going to volunteer for Jeanne Shaheen, who's running for the Senate against John Sununu. I'd just love to kick some Sununu butt!

[rndmprsn]

13. i think election night 04 was the MOST depressing day of my life...

grown men were crying...but no i have not soured on it, and i plan to devote my energies to getting obama elected.

[zanne]

14. That's the spirit, rndmprsn! nt

[george_maniakes]

32. I think most of the world let out a collective groan that night n/t

[busymom]

7. Congrats...

on finding a candidate that you can feel good about!

[tokenlib]

8. It's a sobering day, but we welcome you..

Many of us were split between Edwards and Obama. We know today is a difficult one. But we are glad you are joining us.

[az chela]

10. well thats twice we have lost john,I feel sick

[thoughtcrime1984]

24. If John's message gets more play because of O and H

talking about it more, and/or John gets VP or a high cabinet position, then this campaign wasn't in vain at all, was it? If he were veep for 8 years, he just might the next President after that.

11. Here's some inspiration.

HUMMA HUMMA!

19. ...

:spray:

[David Zephyr]

15. Welcome. We need you.

I fear that now with John out of the race, and out of the debates, it will be to Hillary's advantage now. She has the super delegates and the lobbyist money and the Washington pull and Mark Penn and James Carville.

I also fear that many of the issues that John challenged more openly than Obama did, especially the issue of class disparity, will now be pushed aside.

I only came to Obama this month. I want you to know that we need your voice and give you a warm welcome to still another uphill battle.

Finally, America lost an important voice today with John's exit. It was a voice we need.

[rndmprsn]

16. well said...

although obama inspires me, i think he needs to address the issues that john was bringing light too more forcefully in order for him to get more edwards supporters.

[elizm]

17. Thank you!

And welcome aboard! We are thrilled to have you! :)

[Raine]

18. Me too but

I'm not ready to change my avatar yet because my heart belongs to Edwards even though my vote now belongs to Obama.

[Critters2]

20. Can't do it myself.

The politics of fear and division are real. And they can't be wished away. The only way to deal with the Repugs is to stand up to them. I can't support making nice with 'em.

[Spiffarino]

21. I'm in, too.

Obama at least offers some hope that we'll get a progressive president. With Hillary Clinton, you can bet it'll be a 24/7 campaign operation just like with Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and the Blowmonkey. She'll cut more deals than Monty Hall.

She'd be better than any Republican, but then a pile of dogshit would be better than a Republican president.

[Nimrod2005]

22. I am in too

[HughBeaumont]

23. He's now our best chance against McCain.

Obama was always in my top three choices. In any normal world where people actually CARED about past performance, that doddering old fuck, Bewsh-huggin "Maverick" McCain would be shit on a shoe. But now, with the very dangerous prospect of him against Hillary (who polls quite poorly against him as opposed to Obama or Edwards), he's my only hope.

Grab JRE as your VP, and you have an unstoppable Dem ticket.

[troubleinwinter]

25. He hasn't "dropped out". He has suspended his campaign. Go with your head, heart & courage...

He has not withdrawn.

[Indenturedebtor]

26. Yeah I'm behind Obama

And my wife is too. I feel hopeless today though. I really wanted to see JE in the whitehouse. If his plans on the economy dont get enacted you can stick a fork in America imho.

Give a poor man a dollar and he spends it. Give a rich man a dollar and he triples it by using it to leverage away two poor mens' dollars.

[Qutzupalotl]

27. Thanks, rndmprsn.

I hope you find more to like in Obama. He's not Edwards, but he is all right. I think he will win big.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

28. me too...anyone but Clinton and her crooked entourage

John was my top choice. Obama is my compromise.
I'll never vote for Hillary. A Clinton nomination or election is at least 4-8 years of setbacks for the progressive movement (possibly more)

[Tweed]

29. we need to turn the page on the politics of fear, and division..

I think both Edwards or Obama would have done this. I am happy you are now supporting Barack Obama.

For those who say we can change from politics of fear and division, let us reply "YES WE CAN!"

[ShadesOfGrey]

30. Another broken hearted Edwards supporter here...

I made the same decision today. Gobama!

[rndmprsn]

31. thanks everyone...

we need to unite our party in order to take down mccain, if clinton gets it...i will vote for her, just not sure how much activism she'll get out of me.

anyhow for what its worth...she's much better than mccain.
