I honestly think it is time for Edwards and Gore to speak out
I see them as true leaders of the party...Would love for them to speak out one way or the other, to help shape this primary and move it along.

I don't want this to be decided in Denver, I don't want to have a fight over MI and FL.

4. edwards probably will, but Gore seems to think he's bigger than a nomination fight
I know, I know, "since Gore got burned by backing Dean" yadda yadda..........but that was in a wide open Field of several candidates before the first contest had been ran, now its down to two, it shouldnt be hard for him to know which he would prefer to deal with in the WH.

Sometimes I think our party puts him up on a pedestal as a means to excuse his ego.

11. None of the super delegates should endorse until after the public has voted/primaries
Anything less is irresponsible.

6. You wouldnt feel that way if you lived in one of the last states to vote
As it is even the super Tuesday states had only 2 active candidates to choose from. The whole system stinks. Its awash in money greed and corruption. I'd like to see a one day vote for all states. Winner takes all. Screw the conventions and all the State to State bull crap. This isn't Democracy.

10. Hear hear!!! Very well said.
Put all that money to work to help the people out! One day, one vote! It's all a plot to pump money into the media and the media isn't fair anymore.

8. I voted for Edwards
And I think he needs to continue to stay mum on this. Let the people decide for themselves. Edwards and Kucinich couldn't have been farther from Clinton and Obama on the issues, which is why I voted for him... he was closer to me on the issues. Clinton and Obama are far from me on the issues, and I don't see how Edwards could possibly go against his own convictions and endorse either one of these candidates.
