I have left the Hillary Clinton campaign and I am switching my support for Mike Gravel. This has nothing to do with my upmost respect for the Senator from New York, and of course I'm going to support the Democratic nominee.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama listen to Democratic "strategists" (aka DLC neocons) vs. their constituents. This war MUST END!!!!
Mike Gravel is the best candidate in this race, and I will not surrender my liberal views.
As Merryl Streep said in the Devil Wears Prada, "That's all."

You might do some thinking about who you'll support when Mike drops out.

...she voted the right way on the war funding bill. I can certainly understand not supporting Hillary Clinton because of the Iraq War. But this seems like a odd time to "leave" the Clinton campaign.

But I also know how long it took her to come up with the vote. Both her and Obama had a DLCesque response when it came to it. I LOVE both of them. Obama is my Senator and Hillary was my idol since I was 3.
But if we want change in the Democratic Party....we need to vote for who we feel is the most progressive candidate. We can't change the party until we quit being afraid to "waste our votes."

I was just thinking I'd start championing Kucinich, at least until Clark or Gore gets into the race.
The Hillarys and Edwards of this world move in a finely tuned dance with the political wind of the moment. We may as well shape the direction of that wind right up until the moment we HAVE to make a final choice.
