Reply #9: The reason not to vote for Kerry or Edwards, but for someone who has [View All]

[jansu]

not endorsed either of them, is that the more delegates which go to Dean, Kucinich, Sharpton, Braun, we will have a brokered convention. Which is good, since then we may not end up with who "they" have decided is the winner. If you vote for Edwards, I think he will, on the second ballot, endorse Kerry...maybe so that he gets the VP spot. Or he may get all the other candidates to endorse him for President, which would give him the nomination. Think carefully before you vote. It matters and there are many ways that "We have the Power"!

Only on the first ballot are people required to cast their ballot for who they are "promised" to. After that, it is wide open. So, those who have fewer delegates can band together, and if combined they have 2161 they will choose who is the nominee. This is why Kerry and Edwards people are telling all of us that we have to vote for one of those and why the other candidates should get out now! They know that they may lose at the convention, if it is left up to the delegates there!

Also, the more delegates, the more say our candidates have on the Party Platform. This is important!

My whole family has already voted for Dean in California. We have to vote by absentee ballot in this district.
