1. Done

2. I was thinking about that

But I wonder if the DNC would even notice. And I do have a preference between the two left standing.

What percentage do you think it would take to get the DNC's attention, and do you think that percentage is do-able?

3. Yeah, what tbyg52 said...

What percentage where? I'm in Austin.

4. Edwards is not a candidate. Don't waste your vote. Vote for a candidate, or throw it in the trash.

Nothing personal against Edwards or any other non-candidate, but a voter either votes for a candidate for a vote that counts, or makes a political statement with no real voting consequence. Those are the choices.

The only 2 Dem. candidates are Clinton and Obama.

5. I love Edwards, but...

...if voting for Edwards allows the DLC candidate to win, we can kiss populism goodbye for 4 years.

Just my opinion.

6. Normally, I would agree, but...

...this time, I'm going with Obama, mainly to stop Hillary.

In 2004, I defiantly stuck with Kucinich, saying to all "there is no nominee until the national convention."

This time, my main goal is boosting Obama's numbers to block Hillary and the DLC crowd. That, in my opinion, is the best strategy this year for supporting the populist agenda.

We can get Edwards' ideas into the party through resolutions.
