I'd of thought he would have backed Edwards.

Maybe it says more by who he is urging you NOT to support....

I wonder if Dennis sees Edwards as not being a "change" candidate....

1. It's not a move against Edwards. He's trying to push Obama to the Left.
He wants his anti-DLC folk to corrupt Obama's DLC wannabees.

6. I know more than that. Greens mostly. Yes, they're a small group.
Committed to DK though, year after year.

11. That would be nice, but I don't think he's pushing anybody anywhere.
How does throwing his support to Obama help to push Obama to the left?

Doesn't he have to have political capital to be able to be effective? Wasn't he restricted from the last debate because he didn't have enough campaign offices in the state of Iowa?

Don't get me wrong, I love DK but I don't see Obama as the answer.

3. Dennis IS Beholden to THe EStablishment... Gotta Stop Edwards NOW, That IS
THE MESSAGE! Dennis herds the progressives into a corner then bails out for the Corporatists. They can take Dennis out at any time and he knows it so he puts on a show but in the end bends over. In all the debates instead of going after Hillary what did he do? He constantly went after Edwards. I have his cell # and called him and gave him a piece of my mind! Piece of crap! :nuke:

What is his cell number? I don't understand the rest of your post. But if you have his cell, let us all in on the action.

5. Makes one wonder
if he knows something about Edwards that he's not saying.

7. No it doesn't.
If DK knew something, so would the rest of us. It would make absolutely no sense whatsoever to hold it back.

9. What a fucking sell out. I stood by Dennis through his "Ron Paul for VP" but this is too much.
I'm done.

10. Because Edwards is full of shit.
Kucinich has seen his record.

Why have so many of you not?

13. He talks a good game.
I like his populism rhetoric. But I'm beginning to think that that is all it is.

He voted for the Iraq War.

14. If he's giving away his votes instead of trading votes
then I don't see how he can pretend he is in the race to win.
