I am new here, I just joined today. I happily and unashamedly support John Edwards, but I am also interested in other candidates. Logically, Edwards will either need a VP or could possibly be asked to be the VP running mate. Of course, the VP could come from outside the pool of current candidates, but I still have been looking at each one with interest to this regard.
So, I have been wandering around this site and have discovered something. The Kerry and Dean supporters here are cancelling each other out and leaving other candidates looking better to me. I think it is a mistake to aim your guns so hard on each other. It seems to me that it is wiser to promote your own candidate and not allow yourself to be sucked into the kind of ridiculous back and forth arguments that I am seeing. All it does is make me think that neither candidate has the right stuff to be President. We already have an administration that attacks anything that moves near it. I don't want to vote for that again. And, honestly, your candidates don't help by taking shots at each other. I guess maybe that's why you guys do it.
We are doing the Republican Party's work for them. I keep hearing supporters of individual candidates referring to the supporters of other candidates as 'the opponents' and 'you people'. We are all Democrats and all looking for a better solution than the one we currently have for the problems that our country faces. I am not saying that people should not offer information that helped them make their choice for candidate, but is there a way to do it that is not accusatory and divisive?
