John Edwards is the most Trustworthy and "Americans in mind" person running from Either side.

2. And that's in California
I have another story, not as good. 2 previous Edwards supporters now support Hillary. It has nothing to do with the last debate; they'd changed their minds earlier than that. I live in Northern California and I'm still supporting Edwards.

3. That's been my experience too -- most of the
people I talk to support Edwards. But I saw a couple of Ron Paul stickers today... :eyes:

Some of those Paul supporters will vote Dem in the GE.

5. So I was driving down the road today -- 2 lanes
When it went to 4, the car behind me shot up beside me and started honking like crazy. I looked at the guy like he had 3 heads and he just waved and gave me the thumbs up, then fell back behind me again.

I was like, "what in the hell was that all about"?

30 minutes later, I got to my destination and went to the back to get the laptop out.

That is when I realized that I have the Edwards '08 sticker on my back window. I have never put a sticker on any car before, ever -- and I forget it is there.

:D

6. I've met a lot of Edwards, Obama and Paul supporters. My dad supports Hillary.
My mother did too, until I talked her into Edwards.

8. like you, I've never met one single HRC supporter, and I live in her state.
many obama, many edwards, some kucinich, some richardson or dodd or biden, the occasional mccain and giuliani, but never, since she became senator, have I met someone who supports her for president. not one. I live in NYC.

in fact, the most passionate feelings against a pol, in my not-too-narrow experience, are bush first, hrc second, giuliani third.

I think that 99% of her support is from people who simply do not follow politics. the rest, the other 1%, work for her or post on DU

12. You must've met every single Edwards support there is!
I mean, at just 9-11%, there can't really be that many, anyway.
I've never met an Edwards supporter in person.
At least, none that have ever made in publically known.
Never even seen an Edwards bumper sticker.
Perhaps my area is just too Democratic?

20. I'm the same as you
I don't know one person who supports Hillary and I'm in broadcasting. It's weird. The name of Clinton must to the attraction to whoever out there supports her.
