Does any one else wish the choice was Obama or Edwards???

[mckeown1128]

Wouldn't it be nice. Two strong, honest candidates... Both with great ideas. I suspect everything would be much calmer and upbeat around here. I miss Edwards....

Discuss...

[MadBadger]

1. But I like being the Majority on DUUUuuuuuuuuu!

[gmudem]

2. Agreed.

I would have proudly supported an Edwards/Obama ticket. A Clinton/Obama ticket is more like a nightmare scenario for me.

[GarbagemanLB]

3. SEXIST!!!!! But seriously, yeah. Two good candidates that would make it a difficult choice. I'd be

happy no matter the outcome.

[Genevieve]

6. Me too . . . . I'de hate to see either of them lose though. nt

[LakeSamish706]

16. Yep, I agree with "happy no matter the outcome" but not a Hillary win.... n/t

[woolldog]

4. Yes.

I wish John Edwards had stayed instead of HRC after South Carolina. Can you imagine a Edwards v. Obama primary race without HRC? We'd actually be discussing issues. He's a class act and this campaign wouldn't have taken the nasty turn it has.

And I could've voted for him or Obama in the GE regardless of who won the primary. He would never have engaged in race-baiting, even if he were losing.

The only reason we've gone this direction is b/c of Clinton.

5. I was just thinking the same thing

I would love to hear a policy debate between the two of them.

[yourout]

7. Hell yes.

[LisaM]

8. No. I wish it was just Edwards.

Barring that, I'd prefer Clinton and Edwards, though I think it would be great if all three were still viable - it would be a more civilized debate if so. But ~sigh~ that's not what the media wanted.

[dansolo]

26. You don't think she would attack Edwards as visciously?

If Edwards was in the same position Obama is in now, you can just imagine the kind of crap she'd be flinging at him? Do you honestly believe that she would have a civilized debate with anyone when she is losing?

[LisaM]

31. Obama's flinging crap too, so please don't go there.

It's much more veiled, but it's there.

Heck, it was CLINTON who came out of one of the debates looking better when it was perceived that the two of them were ganging up on her.

[Greyskye]

9. Yep.

Now there's a ticket combo I could really get behind.

[OzarkDem]

10. I'm fed up with the men

They've screwed things up enough already. I want a woman president.

[Armstead]

17. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson might be available...Or Elizabeth Dole

[SoFlaJet]

18. which says it all right there

that's as bad as saying I will only vote for a man or I won't vote for a black man-but you won't see that-you are too blind

[mckeown1128]

19. Yes yes I know... vote for Hillary she's a woman...

screw qualifcations, judgement, or policies... just vote for whoever happens to be a woman... :eyes:

[nebula]

21. Rush Limbaugh agrees with you.

edit: So does Ann Coulter.

[Liberal Veteran]

30. Aha! So you admit you are a misandrist?

That explains a lot.

[Selatius]

32. Yes, I'm sure your comment isn't sexist in nature.

Take your over-generalizations elsewhere.

:sarcasm:

[LisaL]

11. No.

I like Edwards even less than I like Obama.

[Johnny__Motown]

12. Yep, then the Unity Ticket would be a serious possibility

[Fovea]

13. yes

I miss Edwards in the race.
We need his unabashed populism.

Since Ronald Raygun, the business of government was helping business give us the business.

That has to change. Edwards seemed ready to do that.
Let's get media fairness back, and shut down the giant rw puffer.

[SoFlaJet]

14. if it had been these two

I wouldn't have to hold my nose to vote for either-unlike possibly having to now

[alteredstate]

15. Yes!

At least it would be a civilized race.

If Edwards had ended up in the top two instead of Obama, I'm sure Clinton would be going for Edwards' jugular, too.

[AtomicKitten]

20. Yes, and it would have been a spirited respectful campaign.

[emilyg]

22. No.

[caseycoon]

23. I wish the choice was Kucinich or Edwards.

:hide:

[uponit7771]

24. Edwards was my first choice too even after I got to know Obama. I was still skeptical of Obama even

...after his stump speeches and reading about his past because I've seen other black folk who go to Washington that don't like black folk.

I would still vote Edwards over Obama today...it'd be hard but...they are both great.

[TheDonkey]

25. I am not an Edwards fan but he would hav e been much classier than Hillary

[helderheid]

27. I'm hoping it will be Obama AND Edwards.

[BringBigDogBack]

28. Hell yes.

Would've been a tough decision.



This one? Easier by the MINUTE.

[Liberal Veteran]

29. It would have been a lot classier than the anklebiting of the Clinton camp.

[mckeown1128]

34. anklebiting lol I never thought of it like that before. n/t

[DeadElephant_ORG]

33. "everything would be much calmer and upbeat around here". AGREED.

[ecstatic]

35. I admit, I wanted him out and for HRC and Barack to battle it out

But now, looking back, I'm almost positive that Edwards would have conducted himself with a lot more class. Back then, I was caught up in the historical significance of the first woman against the first Af. Am.
