80. Fair enough.
Good for you-making a decision on who to support by actually researching the candidate. As I said before, there are some Obama supporters here that have actually done that - most, however, have not.

I don't support Obama because I don't like his unity, bipartisan, reaching out to republicans talk. Go check out the thread on Rush's quote on bipartisanship-I don't think this approach could possibly work with the right wing republicans. It hasn't fared so well for the current Dem congress. It's my opinion that we should be working to eject these criminals from our government, not giving them a seat at the table.

You can't support Edwards for his past voting record. That's fine, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I think all the candidates have at some point regretted the way they voted on issues. I was uncomfortable with Edwards Senate record as well, but after watching him speak and debate over and over again, it became my opinion that he is sincere about his platform. I'm also uncomfortable with Hillary's corporate ties, but she will get my vote over Obama if it comes down to it. I will support Obama if he gets the nomination, he's just not my first (or second) choice.

Fair enough?
