for being the voice of truth in the electoral muck that DU seems to have become as of late.

In reality, Hillary or Barack, it simply won't matter, particularly with regards to Amerika's criminal foreign policy, which is designed to maximize the profits for the uber-wealthy no matter how inhumane and immoral the methods and results may be. As you've shown, the people surrounding the Dem candidates are from the same Beltway club that had a hand in most of the conflicts and wars over the last few decades, so if you're expecting the neo-con excursions into the mid-east and our blackmailing third world countries to gain cheap access to their resources to suddenly come to an end, you are in for a big disappointment.

I support Edwards and I realize that he has a far from perfect record, but if he is sincere about what he is campaigning on, I see him as the only candidate who has both the possibility of being elected and making any meaningful changes. I also realize that even if he does become president, there will be serious resistance from the entrenched powers-that-be to any of his initiatives wrt limiting corporate power over politics.

Saving and fixing our republic will take a very long time; unfortunately I fear we don't have that long.
