I am so pissed about the Obama and Hillary bitch fight. They have both put a bad taste in my mouth. Yes, I am an average voter, and I am watching what you do. What I am seeing just now, is John Edwards sticking to his guns and not slinging mud at anyone.
I am of the school that thinks all primaries should be held on the same day. Were that the case, the press would have no opportunity to influence anyone. Ideally, people would do their research and then "vote their conscience" as my daddy has always taught me to do.
On the other hand, were it not for the press, I would have not seen the bitchiness. I would have not seen John Edwards rise above the bitchiness and say exactly what he thought and why.
Either way. I will vote February 6, at the primaries. I will go to the local church (where Chris and I are likely the only registered Democrats) to vote.
That being said, I still want a woman to be president, and I still think that Hillary is the woman for me. But I have said it before and I will say it again: We are all on the same team. Stop fighting.

Well put! I think people often loose site of that very thing, "we are all on the same side".
Sweetheart, John Edwards isn't mudslinging because he hasn't got a chance in hell at the nom. If he were a top contender, you can bet he'd be dirty. As it is, he gets to look classy.
gregory, Guy Hunt was elected governor of Alabama not because everyone thought has was the best man, but because of all the mudslinging between the other two candidates, Baxley and Graddick (I think). Ask yo' daddy if he remembers what a longshot Hunt was....I remember folks sayin' that they would not vote for Bill Baxley or Charles Graddick because they got sidetracked at pointing fingers at each other, never mind which fingers they were using :0)
I dunno,
Neither HRC or BO (unfortunate initials) have excited me, and you are right about their pissing matches. I took an online "test" to see which candidate, Republican or Democrat, most closely matched your views. John Edwards matched me the closest. I didn't like his comment about Hilary's tears, but I do like that he is distancing himself from the squabbles. Is he too pretty to be president?
