I am a Kucinich girl. But, I am also a realist.

I believe Edwards could win the election, not just the primary. Dennis represents what I believe, Edwards is the most palatable candidate of any of the top three, by a large margin.

Kucinch represents my beliefs across the board.

This is always where it gets sticky. Should we band together to ensure a decent Democrat in the Oval Office over what amounts to a pipe dream? Or, do we throw our votes to Edwards, abandoning the whole point of a supposedly democratic system, thus not even giving Dennis the chance to fight?

I feel voting for Edwards instead of Kucinich is a small betrayal of my integrity. Yet, I want to have a good candidate in the general election, & I really do not like Obama or Hilliary at all.

What do you think? Should we help Edwards & send him a mass donation via DU to unite support behind him, in this crucial time before Iowa?

What to do?
