Reply #6: UGH!! I was an Iowa Edwards delegate too and I came away disgusted.

[emmadoggy]

There were at least 2 or 3 Edwards delegates who showed up and signed in for another candidate (Obama) right off the bat, before any realignment or anything!! We needed 12 delegates to be viable and ended up at first count with only 9!! I was so pissed!! This was my first time so I had no clue what to do about it.

I held out and really didn't want to realign for anyone. In the end, I gave up and went to Obama, but I now regret that and wish that I had just abstained.

There was also an issue that came up on the platform voting that just blew me away. It got voted down and some of the comments during the discussion of it were just mind-boggling to me. (It related to Energy/Environment and was specifically about coal plants.) It was the last issue to be voted on and I was so disgusted after that, that I just got the heck out of there ASAP.
