Poll question: I'm an Edwards supporter who will still vote for the nominee in the general - are you?
The remaining two candidates are just gross to me, I'll admit. And I will march into that voting booth (well, symbolically, I'll be voting absentee from France) and pull the D lever without a moment's hesitation. The Supreme Court and some beginning of a withdrawal from Iraq are too important to stand on principle and withhold my vote from the Dems, which helps NO ONE except the Pukes.

Fellow Edwards supporters, will you vote for the Democratic nominee no matter who it is in the general?

1. Ah, the lesser of two evils...

14. Funny - the old-school DUers seem to know the score.
You were around the last time, too, as was I. We know what standing on principle does...

6. But I might go vote for Huckabee in the GOP primary
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 12:00 PM by Ilsa
to try to help him get the nom and be the weakest GOP candidate.

If I am supposed to trust the pther primaries in their selection of H or O, then maybe I should just trust the rest of my state to pick the right one while I go out and try to do some damage.

On edit: I voted hell yes.

7. How about: "I don't know."
I voted yes... but perhaps there are some fence sitters.

I could certainly understand the rationale...

8. I am as undecided as I am unmotivated.
It's like asking if I want my shit sandwich on whole wheat or white bread.

9. As repugnant as "hold your nose and vote D" is, I suppose that's what I'll do
unless there's something really good on TV that day.

19. Nope.
That's not really a voice being heard. But, all can cheer up, my daughter's of voting age and she actually cares. My caring ended last year. It's a farce.
