29. Ill still vote for him in the primary..
Here in the south, I really feel the battle will be between Edwards and Clark..

I sit here and cry as I read this because Dennis is the best man at this juncture to lead this country. But for whatever reason, I just dont think it can happen now. I have hope in the future. I know this is not the last we will see of him and I gladly await a time when human value can be seen by the people.. beyond the media, the spin..

Kucinich gives me hope that all isnt lost. When the state of affairs starts getting me down, and I just want to throw in the towel.. I get hope from the fact that this man simply exists at this level in the world. It seems so rare. It seems like once you work your way up to running for president you have already conducted so many back office deals and compromises that you lose your idealism, your humanity. Being a 25 year old, everyone always tells me Ill get older and Ill understand it better, Ill trust it more, Ill stop caring as much.

But I dont want to stop caring. I dont want to be an automaton. I want to believe that there are good people out there that truly do still have we the people's best interests in mind. I want to demand that from the human soul, to cultivate it and support it.. not give up on it.

Dennis shows me that there is hope. That we can make a better tomorrow. Edwards will smooth the way.
