i'm an obama supporter. that said, i think that john edwards should stay in the race.
follow me for my reasoning.
i'm a [small d] democrat. the big D is in there also but in this case the small d is more important.
what does the small d mean? it means giving people a choice. short & to the point. no vacillation. i believe in choice. i believe that you & i & every other american out there should have the right to vote for the person that each of us wants to vote for.
yes, i realize that there can only be one winner & that's fine. but choice, that's important. you cannot have freedom without choice.
so, fuck the campaigns. fuck who is the most electable. fuck if we have a divisive primary. fuck if edwards helps hillary or if he helps obama.
the american people deserve this.
we deserve this.
also, edwards has run a good campaign. not my guy but you gotta give him kudos for driving the issues. if i recall correctly & mind, i've drank since then, edwards was the first candidate that came out with a "universal" health care proposal. (the quotes are personal...i don't think anything is truly "universal" if its not single payer). he's also highlighted a lot of other things that i'm sure ya'll, being the educated kossacks ya'll are, are already aware of.
as mentioned previously, my vote, if the campaign lasts that long, will go to obama. but i really think that edwards should stay in the race until he sees fit to leave. & i think that if you truly think that edwards is the best candidate, then you should vote for him. i think that's good for our democracy. & i think that's good for our country.
that's all.
