1. The Ron Paul consideration for VP started it, voting against SCHIP probably didn't help |
|
And it isn't like he is running an effective campaign.

4. And voting for that Christianity Rules! legislation |

probably lost some people too. I think DUers started to realize that he has crappy votes/ crappy ideas just like all the other candidates.

3. I think the reaction would have been the same no matter whom he endorsed. |

Those who have spoken out and worked for him were bound to feel betrayed by his abandoning ship before the first poll was taken.

I worked with an older guy who had a stroke he was working so hard on this campaign. I'm really angry because I knew people who worked hard and believed in it. It's nothing against Obama. Actually I don't know that much about Obama. I've been concentrating on Kucinich. So it would take some work to convince me that all those hours I spent out in the cold collecting petition signatures should benefit a guy I don't know that much about.

5. I think that for some, it was a hope that Dennis by some miracle could.. |
|
maybe pull this thing off of wining this election. I know for myself that I find it a much less likely hood and have moved to a candidate that can actually win the election...
