Yes.

So much for what he has to say, eh?

It's typical marxist 'redistribution of wealth' - punishing the productive.

It's better than the choices that ARE running.
I've gotta cast a vote that will leave my conscience clear.
Ron Paul does that.

I guess I feel about McCain as you feel about Obama.

And giving a vote to Ron Paul is like voting for McCain in my opinion (since I think more liberals would vote for Paul than would conservatives).

That's a good point. Who knows what these politicians are thinking about anymore.

True, but the people have pretty much decided.

I suppose that only time will tell, although I can't really think of anybody other than Hillary that Obama would choose.

Wow, so few people here care about the endorsement. I thought it would be important, but I guess the media is just overplaying things again.

The race isn't over. And if the superdelgates would vote the way obama's campaign said they should - according to the will of the people - then Hillary would be the winner.

facts here

Ted Kennedy, if he followed the will of the people in his state, should switch his vote and his endorsement to Hillary. Ditto the rest of the state super delegates.

Welly, welly, welly, well, look who finally caved to the pressure and jumped on the bandwagon because everyone else was doing it. I'm surprised he landed so squarely. He's clearly "blinded by the light" and wrapped up like a douchebag in the groaners of the night.

Edwards HAD to be offered a meaty part in the Obama cabinet or he wouldn't have held out this long. He was dazzled by the bland brilliance and baffled by the BS long enough. Now he's hitched his wagon to a Bolide that'll burn itself out spectacularly in the atmosphere of reality, maaaaaaaaaaybe in the campaign, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe in the White House, who knows. But its coming!!!

I'd like to remind the ATS faithful of the Nascar text poll taken during the Daytona 500 in February. 20% for Clinton/Obama, 32% for Obama/Clinton, and 48% for Clinton/Edwards! Yep those voters opinions should count as well.

John, you just blew it- AGAIN!

so basically people are saying that they are going to vote for someone that isn't officially running? At least not yet.

Yup that is correct...its better than voting for people that I dont agree with just because they are part of some dumba$$ party. Ill be writing in RP and I dont care who its not taking votes from anyone because I would not of voted Obama or McCain anyways.

What a suck-up.
Edwards, the Bobby Kennedy wannabe, is kissing it only because he want's the Attorney General spot.

"Hay-ulp, is on the way"

Now only if Al Gore would come out and endorse Obama... that would surely nail Hillaries coffin shut.

Gore probably wants to endorse McCain, since John really buys into that Global Warming junk more than the other two.

Ron Paul does that.

You do realize Ron Paul wont win, and all you're really doing is voting for Jon Mcain with your "concious free" vote... what the #...

I dont understand people voting for these independents when they know damn well it just helps other people. It's like "Hey, I hate all the choices so I basically wont vote... but i will vote for Ron Paul, who surely wont win". The hell.

Dude/Dudette,
It's not suppose to be a popularity contest.
If enough people voted with their heart, neither of these three clowns would be the next President.

Do you honestly think these three are the best this country has to offer?

I don't vote for people based upon popularity. I vote based on who can do the job the best. I have to be able to sleep well at night with a clear conscience.

Ohh, I almost forgot about Judas, I mean Edwards. Poor desperate thing, I guess he's willing to stoop to anything to at least be the VP. Talk about the blind leading the blind. God help us.

Naaaaaaaaah. The OTHER judas (Richardson) got that with his endorsement. I'm thinking Edwards will be named Attorney General and Chief Ambulance Chaser in payment for his endorsement.

Cool page (I like the name of it - best Led Zeppelin song).

It looked like they were just adding up super delegate votes. Does it take into account the rest of the delegates or just the super ones? I have having a bit of trouble weeding through the info.

It's funny you would say that, in my post I originally typed "job" and changed it to VP. Should have stayed with my first thought. LOL
