I was for Edwards before he imploded. I was hoping to elect the most liberal president since Johnson. I voted for Obama in the primary because he was to the left of Hillary. I really hoped he'd be a transformational President from the left to swing the pendulum back our way.

Flame me if you want, but that hasn't happened.
