I still support John Edwards

[Mythsaje]

but I can get behind Obama too.

I have my doubts about whether he understands what he'll be up against, but I think he'll learn fast enough.

[durtee librul]

1. If nothing else, maybe he can have

Edwards write his campaign stuff for him as he just adlibbed most of what Edwards has been saying for years....I know Obama is capable of doing his own stuff - witness his speech at the convention......

[demo dutch]

2. Sorry couldn't vote for Obama

[Mythsaje]

3. You may not have a choice...

Unless you prefer Huckabee or McCain.

[demo dutch]

9. We'll see ... I think it will be a big mistake to nominate him

[Mythsaje]

13. Why?

Details, please.

[demo dutch]

18. Don't think he'll make it in the South, & repugs will have a field day so

Edwards would be a safer choice as far as the rest of the country

[Mythsaje]

24. You don't think blacks in the south will come out in record numbers?

I do.

But I much prefer Edwards myself.

[demo dutch]

27. No, they never have, many of them don't vote. Last few elections their turn-out was poor overall.

I could be wrong but I don't think so.

[Mythsaje]

29. Last few elections they had a bunch of white guys to vote for.

Different dynamic this time.

[demo dutch]

31. Even for Bill Clinton, turn-out wasn't what it should have been with his popularity

among blacks.

[Mythsaje]

32. Last time I checked, BC was a WHITE guy. n/t

[demo dutch]

33. Like I said, I could be wrong, but I think not. Obama is not perceived as

truly black.

[Mythsaje]

35. We'll see...n/t

[demo dutch]

36. That's right.. we'll see.

[Blue-Jay]

6. Your sentence structure indicates that you *can* vote for Obama.

You're a sneaky one.

[demo dutch]

12. No just a typo which I fixed

[Blue-Jay]

39. I was right. You ARE a sneaky one!

[Vilis Veritas]

4. I share your thoughts.

Obama speaks well. Historically well. He is obviously very bright and that should imply fast learner...put Edwards on the ticket and the Nation just might actually have a chance to fight the corporate oligarchy...

Peace.

edited to clarify 'the' ticket...not sure whose ticket it would be but together it might have a chance...

[OzarkDem]

5. Edwards will do fine

I'm not even thinking about any other Dem candidate. The race is just beginning.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. ...

:thumbsup:

[helderheid]

7. rec 1?

[KAZ]

8. What he's up against? Think IL Senate Dem primary.

He was magical tonight.

[Lex]

11. I'm totally jazzed for Edwards tonight. Hillary was the one to beat

and he did it.

[Mythsaje]

16. He did...

I think she's cooked.

But Obama's got momentum.

[Lex]

19. So has

Mr. Edwards! Got the mo, I mean.

:hi:

[charlie]

22. Her husband hardly placed in Iowa

and only made second in New Hampshire. It's way too early to see how things will shape out. Poppy was the one to beat in 1988 and he got plastered in Iowa by Dole and Pat Freakin' Robertson.

[Lex]

40. there's some perspective!

:thumbsup:

[rockybelt]

14. Keep supporting him

As the field narrows it will become increasingly harder to skirt issues and duck questions. I don't believe obama, with his nose stuck up in the air, will be able to to compete with edwards on the real issues.

There is no real substance behind Obama, only the profile that you see on your tv screen. Look it up.

[avaistheone1]

26. I agree. Obama is all sizzle an no steak.

Take a closer look.

[FredfromSpace]

37. I agree. Obama is a say-nothing candidate.

The only thing I got policy-wise from his "victory speech" is that he still opposes universal healthcare.

Ugh.

[Donnachaidh]

28. no he won't be able to compete

With others out of the race more time will be given to debates, and more people will notice Obama's favorite *non-answers* to questions - or his *let me just sound like MLK or JFK* answers that carry no real substance. He speaks a lot - but hot air doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

Edwards will blow him out of the room with passion and a PLAN.

[XOKCowboy]

15. Edwards is still my guy.

This makes me want to donate to him. Maybe we all should. :)

[melody]

17. I think Edwards 2nd placement tonight is as big as story as Obama's 1st

He spent a fraction of the money and still beat Clinton.

[Lex]

21. Absolutely.

No question.

[Occam Bandage]

20. Go for it. Any delegates he wins will be valuable when they write the platform.

[smokey nj]

23. Me too, Mythsage!

[texpatriot2004]

25. I'm for Edwards too nm

[SnoopDog]

30. Just contributed $50 to Mr. Edwards...

I prefer Mr. Edwards but I would vote for Mr. Obama as well...

[adnelson60087]

34. We're sending Edwards $100 tonight

to help in NH. Tonight is a real watershed moment, but I don't know if Obama can keep it going, once folks start giving him full attention.

[BigBearJohn]

38. I still support John Edwards too. In the general election, I will vote for any Democrat!

[WolverineDG]

41. I support Edwards, but I was happy with the outcome in Iowa

I still support Edwards & hope to see an Edwards/Obama ticket. An Obama/Edwards ticket is also fine by me. :)

42. one caucus does not a nominee make

I'll be for John Edwards all the way to the whitehouse and he will get there in spite of our press. He is the Man as far as I am concerned.
