Be honest now....
...how many times in your life have you actually woken up supporting candidate A and gone to bed supporting candidate B?

I just think that many (but not all) of the posters who say "Well that does it--so and so, formerly my favorite, is now officially off my list!" probably weren't going to vote for said person anyway--and that their righteous indignation is simply a show to convince the undecided among us to do the same.

1. Happened once
in 2004, Howard Dean quit after Iowa. I switched my support to Kucinich, who wasn't willing to roll over and play dead to the Kerry bandwagon.

3. I was liking Howard Dean but when Kerry was the apparent leader I threw my support
his way.

that's what primaries are all about.

4. In 2004, I was all over the place
I didn't really pick one, Kerry was picked for me. I stuck with him.

This year, I started out with Obama (his speech in 2004 got to me), moved to Clinton (she's my Senator), then tried on Biden and Dodd, thought about Richardson and finally settled on Edwards. I never considered Kucinich because I never thought he was a viable candidate.
