The candidate amongst those who have the best chance at this point, who most represents change in the system, is John Edwards.

The other two candidates are The Machine covering its bets on both ends of the spectrum of the main issue, the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq, with HC on the pro-War end of that spectrum and BO on the anti-this-war end of the same spectrum.

In order to give all of our very fine candidates a fair chance, ultimately, what we really need is public campaign finance; paper ballots marked by hand and counted in public on a national voting holiday; and fair political use of public resources like broadcast mediums and the internet. The only viable candidate who takes even just one step closer toward addressing those issues is John Edwards. The other two gaurantee support for the status quo, which did not give your real candidate a fair break, for the forseeable future.
