I almost cried when I cast my vote today
There he was - at the top of the list. I filled in the circle for John Edwards - just like I had been planning.
I will support the Democratic Candidate - who ever that may be, but my heart, and my primary vote went to John Edwards.
I'm trying to find a silver lining, and here it is - the next president (dem) will name John Edwards Attorney General, and his first order of business will be to bring bush and cheney up on charges. Sweet.

2. You made a good choice.
I support Obama, but I like it when folks stay with the one that inspired them. I did it with Dean when he'd already dropped out. John and Elizabeth are class acts and spoke to issues that still need addressing. I salute you. :toast:

4. I voted for John after he dropped out.
I think he'll still take delegates to the convention.
Bargaining chips.
May get him the VP slot again.

10. Yes!
Wow! That's one of the most inspirational posts I've read in a long time!
I am an Edwards Democrat and he has my vote. No compromise, no surrender.
