Reply #53: His political future... [View All]

Was tarnished beyond repair for many millions of people when he did his Fundie gay baiting turn, months ago. To me, since then, he has been the same as any Republican running for office, bashing gays and other Democrats and praising and being praised by Republicans.
I do not allign my vote with the religous right, ever. When Obama comes to CA, he's going to learn how much most Democrats like lunatic preachers and evangelists who hurl stones of verbal abuse at whatever minority is upsetting them that day. He saw it in New Hampshire and in Nevada. He made a crass and vile trade off, bigots in one region for Democrats across America. He made his bed, let him sleep in it.
My opinion of him is based soley on his own actions, alliances and voting record. He is Hillary+McClurkin.
A heavily compromised and tarnished man, whose desperation and impatient attitude lead him to attempt that for which he was not prepared. Plenty of experience to be Pres, not nearly enough to get elected. Back in July, he thought he had votes to burn, he was free to toss the gays and insult the boomers. I bet he wishes he'd had a few thousand more votes in NH and Nevada, don't you? Hubris and prejudice will cost him the office.

Edwards 2008-the only Democrat still running.
