is anyone having second thoughts about their vote?

that has changed your mind?

2. No I didn't change my vote. But it was good to hear others
opinions.

I had a great experience, I met some neighbors I may not have met otherwise.

I will vote for our Democratic candidate no matter who it is.

4. No second thought about my vote (Obama), but my state embarrasses me
I cant believe California could vote for Hillary.

I thought we were supposed to be more progressive than Kansas, Maine, Iowa.......

8. Nope. Voted for Edwards.
He dropped out after my vote.

I now support Hillary and would vote for her if I had the chance.

She did win Tennessee.

9. I was really conflicted when I went in there
and I voted for Obama because I did NOT want to help Hillary out in any way. But I started experiencing some very bad feelings about what I had done. So.....I changed my vote to Kucinich! And it was a huge weight off me. I had decided that if I could at all help his policies to make it to the convention and be heard and heeded by the candidate who wanted his people, then that was the most important thing, for me. Voted my conscience. And it felt better than I would have ever imagined.
I was extremely surprised that this caucus had such an effect on me. And it hit me that we were, in a matter of speaking, so much closer to the day that George W. Bush, the worst president that we have EVER seen, that we were so much closer to the day that he would be gone I got really choked up. Not choked up for joy but choked up to the point that I have always felt that if I stared crying I wouldn't be able to stop. Over everything that he and his cronies have done to this country. I'm 62 years old and I remember feeling very proud to be an American. And I am so afraid that I'll never feel that way again. I can't tell you how heartbreaking that is.

10. I know how lucky I was to caucus for Edwards when it mattered most.
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
