125. I like the concept and voted yes
although the rule about "You can't even compare one candidate to the other" seems maybe slightly too far although perhaps necessary.

For example, I really like Howard Dean because like my candidate Dennis Kucinich he spoke out on the war against Iraq as based on lies.

And as another example, I really like John Edwards because like my candidate Dennis Kucinich he speaks about positive populist change.

Although I can see how distinguishing between positive and negative comparisons might breakdown, no comparisons whatsoever seems too far.

Also, maybe things are getting better? At least today some of the negative stuff seems to have migrated to P&C.
