:toast: But as a bi-racial person? Who strongly supported Edwards? I DO view him as a bi-racial person . . . And I find that VERY appealing. I think like me? Being well educated, affluent (though I don't share the poverty background) -

I can relate to him in a way that I THOUGHT I related to Clinton and can't for one minute relate to that artifact McSame.

He had to win me over on policy and perspective - but once he made that 'bitter' comment - he had me. He let me know that he doesn't care who you are, he gets WHY someone who feels "left out" would say, "Well at least I'll have this or that with this Republican candidate." Meanwhile, other candidates stick their head in the sand (I'm directing this at McSame - NOT Clinton) and say, "It's not bad. And if it is - I'll appoint a conservative judge so you can keep your guns so all will be okay."

Proud gun owner. And I know damn well Barack Obama isn't going to get in office and overturn Amendment 2. For that matter, neither will Hillary Clinton.

The other thing, and this has been watching the Blatant Secret Service attachment . . . this guy is tough. I can't remember seeing the SS stand out so blatantly (last night post his speech was a perfect example). No matter the death threat, the vitriol that let's face it - the guy is getting far worse than what those folks down in Jena go -

He's sticking it out. He's not going away. Time for the fringe elements to admit their beat. And truth be told - I'm JUST as proud of Hillary Clinton for sticking it out.

At the end of the day - we had two tough as nails candidates who don't 'look' they way candidates have EVER looked before at the final two.

Who else is proud to be a Democrat because of these two? :pals:
