Lawyers for Edwards

[penguin7]

I know from reading the posts here and on Dailykos that there is a large contingent of lawyers supporting Edwards. It is now pretty clear that Edwards is not electable.

Edwards is not a good progressive choice. He cheerleaded for the war in Iraq and his healthcare plan is a massive federal giveaway to the private insurance companies. Further the vote for Edwards will not be interpreted as a progressive movement. This vote will be seen for what it is, the trial lawyers supporting their man.

Edwards healthcare rhetoric is hollow since his healthcare plan is just a massive giveaway to the corporate interests he claims to oppose. And there is very little really concrete to his anti-corporate rhetoric beyond mere pretty words. Edward's work at Fortress further undercuts his anti-corporate message.

At this point neither Edwards nor Kucinich are likely to win the nomination. A vote for Kucinich is a vote against the war in Iraq, a vote for single payer health care and a vote for cutting the bloated military budget. A vote for Kucinich sends a genuine clear message.

I admit I have some major differences with the legal professional. This blind support for a seriously flawed reincarnated progressive makes me dislike the legal profession just that much more.
