Hmmmmmmmm.

1. I really don't know what to do.

What if the Edwards delegates do decide to caucus with a candidate I would prefer they don't? I was certain that he would hold his ground just a week ago. If he would open the door for Gore, that would be absolutely miraculous. Now, I really don't know.

2. I hear you, Rose

Here's what I'm thinking: There isn't a nickel's worth of difference between Obama and Clinton. They are both centrist, DLC, elitist, corporate candidates (and I don't think either is electable). I'll gamble that my Edwards delegate may ultimately vote for a different choice of the two evils than I would, just for the chance that this can somehow lead to a brokered convention. A brokered convention coming out with Gore or Edwards as the nominee is the best possible outcome, so I'm going for broke.

3. That's the problem with me.

I think there IS far more than a nickel's worth of difference. Just in the last month, Clinton has shown a frightening disregard for the electoral process in at least Nevada... NH, as far as I know now, has yet to show that her supporters were tampering with the process at the same level. I don't know enough about Edwards to trust that he really wouldn't throw his delegates her way to win a concession on an issue or to gain a position in her administration. That's where I am at.

However, give me an hour, I will be on the other side of the issue and thinking a brokered convention is a possibility with a positive outcome of Gore entering the race. I have never been this undecided.

4. Are you in a Super Tuesday state?

If not, maybe we will know a lot more before it's time for you to vote. I don't vote until March 4th, so I've got more time to see what develops.

5. Yes.
