60. That's your opinion and it's not shared by...

...most Edwards supporters, nor does it accurately describe Obama
supporters.

I won't judge Edwards and his supporters because of you--one bad apple.

However, you are a very misguided person if you think that misrepresenting
a candidate and his supporters--is a smart thing to do.

You are being very insulting to many people--in fact the majority of Iowans
who went out to the caucuses. I'm a 43-year-old woman with a college
degree and I'm not swept up in some kind of cult.

I'm supporting Obama for many reasons, but the hook for me is that he
is a Constitutional scholar. He taught Constitutional Law for a decade
and he is extremely troubled by the disrespect our leaders have displayed
when it comes to our Constitution, our civil rights and our privacy. He
has pledged to halt this "Unitary Executive" way of governing that Bush
is enjoying. Obama will also restore Habeas Corpus.

Am I excited about Obama? Yes. Am I supposed to feel ashamed because
the candidate with whom I agree on important issues--is also an eloquent
speaker and that he is inspirational?

You're a very cynical person.
