I was an Edwards supporter and to this day felt his stances on corporations was the way to go-- but now I realize, even in Edwards, we would not find the perfect candidate.
This won't be long, just a little diary to acknowledge the truth-- in a world where Obama is held back for his name and his race, where Clinton is held back for her gender and Richardson for both his skin and his eloquence (or relative lack), it's a damn shame that the only one of the candidates I thought would be the sure-fire winner, the guy who comes in with no "inherent" weakness and plenty of strength...
Would have failed... because of his own choices.
This race was never ours to win, no matter who the Nominee was going to be. It was always, always going to be a fight.
Alright. I'm fully committed.
Go Obama. Go.
