What do you think the general public thinks about each candidate?
I think the general public thinks of Obama as sincere and idealistic, but also inexperienced and lacking substance; Clinton as smart and experienced, but also manipulative and calculating; and Edwards as honest and enthusiastic, but also as largely irrelevant. I'm not trying to dis any one candidate more than another. This is just my impression of how the average person thinks about the candidates at this time.

2. I'd say that is fairly accurate
I think people think Obama is a great speaker, he's inspiring, but they wish he's been around longer so they could know who he really is.

I think people know who Hillary is, some love her, some hate her, but their minds are pretty much made up about her.

I think people don't really know Edwards, and outside of those who support him, don't really care much about him.

3. The ones that like Hillary support her. The ones that hate Hillary support Obama, Edwards, etc
I don't really think the general public thinks deeper than that.

6. That Clinton, Obama, and Edwards will do something for the Constitution, impeachment, corporations.
And they won't. They won't even stand up for a fellow democrat who is getting the obvious shaft.
