All of my preferred candidates have dropped out, so I am now supporting Obama [View All]

[IndianaGreen]

John Edwards conducted himself with integrity and courage, and he spoke for working class Americans in a way in which no one outside of Dennis Kucinich had done.

I only threw my support to Edwards a few days ago, having felt a sense of loss since Biden dropped out. I had originally supported Kucinich, but he was going nowhere and Biden and Dodd had fought valiantly against Kyl-Lieberman and that horrible telecom amnesty in the FISA bill.

Now that Edwards has dropped out, I have ran out of candidates to support. I will support Obama despite my disgust with his rubbing elbows with "cured" LGBTs. I have to balance that aspect of Obama with the Clintons' track record of throwing LGBTs under the bus.

The kind and admiring words by Jimmy Carter about Obama, as well as Caroline and Ted Kennedy's strong endorsement, should be enough to overcome any reservations I may have had about Obama on LGBT issues.

I close by saying that your support for Obama in DU has been, and continues to be honorable and commendable, lacking the rude behaviour we have seen from supporters of another candidate that shall remain nameless.

Let's not lose sight of November. The country can ill afford another four years of Republican rule.

Ciao!
