Where will Edwards supporters go now? - Page 3 - Political Forum

I too don't think I would be able to vote for clinton. I feel she will say and do anything to make history and be the first woman president. I also feel that her administration would be much like Bush's now and she would completely refuse to listen to advisors and most importantly the american people she would cause this country to go in a leftest position which is just as bad as a this country moving far right. There must be a balance and a modern day monarchy (bush, clinton, bush, clinton) is not it.

Michael Bloomberg FOR THE WIN!

That said, I still think that the majority of his supporters will move over to the Obama camp. One of Edwards goals was to move government away from the old school thought of politics regarding lobby money and influence. (Not that this will ever truly be the case) And I think Obama is in the drivers seat, when it comes to having a fresh approach with new ideas, over Clinton.

I personally don't think a Republican candidate stands a chance this year. Record US debt, jobs lost, a poorly planned war in Iraq, possible recession, Oil Company record profits, politics of fear and no clear front runner all are signs of the end of a political era.

I gotta agree with you there even if Edwards don't support Obama "wcich I think he will" Edwards voters will go to Obama.
I know I was supporting Edwards,and now I'm supporting Obama,and I don't think I'm alone.

If the Democrats win Edwards will play a key factor in the administration count on that.

Thanks for the welcome. I joined late last year but haven't posted much and I'm trying to change that.

I don't really think so but it's better than giving more publicity to the other two given that already have so much (negative or otherwise). We have one running on the merits of her husband's shadow and another that rhymes with the worlds biggest crimminal...neither offering anything more than the status quo.

All the talk about change, health care etc... would have no effect on me anyway but if the change was on the income tax structure, that would be change for me and everyone else. Ron Paul and Senator Gravel offer relief from Income tax terror and Hucabee offers a Fair Tax solution... I really wish these aspects were given more publicity....

None of the candidates mentioned here seem to offer anything more than political rhetoric to me.
