Anyone voting for John Edwards this Tuesday?

[pamela]

It saddens me that the Edwards Supporters Group has become another place to debate the merits (or lack thereof) of Corporate Candidate A-vs-Corporate Candidate B. Personally, I still feel that neither of them has addressed the issues that John was championing. Sure, they occasionally throw out the word "poverty" but that's about it.

I hold no animosity towards anyone who has chosen another candidate for whatever reason, but I will never believe that a vote for John Edwards is a wasted vote. This is still the primary season. It is the time to choose not only whose name will be on the ballot in November but also whose ideas will be included in the platform. I have no illusions that John Edwards will be our nominee but if we continue to talk about him, support him, and vote for him, we can send a message to the party that our votes will have to be earned.

I strongly encourage anyone voting Tuesday to vote for John Edwards. I think it's important to send a message to the party that there is a block of voters who still feel their voices are not being heard.
