Here's one of the reasons why I am voting for Edwards tomorrow:
I REALLY want to vote for Clinton.

AND

I REALLY want to vote for Obama.

And I know Edwards cannot win. But if I don't choose him, then I have to choose one of the other two with a chance, and I CANNOT DECIDE. THey both have pluses. And they both have minuses.

But regardless of which of them ultimately gets the nom, I will be completely behind them and thrilled to see them run.

Does anybody else feel this conflicted??

1. Our primary is in March but I can not decide either.
At this point, I will support the nominee.

2. Most everyone is conflicted
I just finished speaking to a client friend of mine, who at the end of our conversation asked who I would be voting for, because she was very conflicted about what to do. This will be her first time voting in a US election (because of GWB's draconian new laws, she finally got US citizenship, though she has lived in this country for 25 years, is married to an American, and is a distinguished professor at a well-known Ivy League university.)

We batted about the plusses and minuses for 15 minutes, long distance, and got to no definitive answer. She said everyone she knew was in this quandary. Finally, I suggested that since I was voting for Obama in Illinois maybe she should vote for Clinton in New York, and then we could cancel each other out.

3. I've Finally Decided
that whereas this board and the Obama and Clinton
supporters posting therein, have lost their collective minds,
it's time to take a break until November when I'll go vote Green.

5. Well, I'm a registered Dem, so voting Rep in the primary isn't an option anyway.
When they impeached Clinton, knowing full well they didn't have the votes to convict, I swore I would never vote Rep as long as I drew breath.
