2. I'm undecided. Choice between Edwards and Obama too difficult

There seem to be no significant difference between these two, and although I agree with Obama in certain things, I agree with Edwards in others.

5. I think there are still many undecided...

I am basing my decision as much on past actions as I am on what is currently being offered.

Good luck with your decision :)

7. Vote for Kucinich

You'd probably agree 100% with his positions on the issues --

they're the positions that most people would agree with but ObamClintWards are afraid to voice (or in many cases, hold)...

Check him out:

6. Is this like the right-middle wing

of "liberal Democrats"?

It's heavily weighted ObamWards-way.

8. Heck if I know...

always thought that my politics were more middle of the road. I think Kucinich is right, he is more in touch with what many people want, but the party has moved to the right.

[slipslidingaway]

9. OT...

I came across two videos today on Kucinich's healtcare plan and posted them in the video forum. They are each about a half hour long and worth the time, IMHO.
