Well, I voted for Kucinich today
My parents voted for Kerry. But I was proud to make my statement. Will be behind Kerry 100% in the GE. So have you voted your conscience or based on electability? Neither is wrong in this climate - just curious. Just a light question, so I put it in the Lounge.

2. Good for you! I voted for Dean in my primary and I am glad I did.
I like feeling that I went with what was right for me. I knew I'd have my chance to vote for Kerry in the GE.

:toast: to you for voting your conscience

11. I considered it an honor
to have the opportunity to vote for him, since I'm not in Ohio

I guess I'm getting carried away now :silly:

5. you rule
:toast:

did the same here in Cali. IMO Kucinich kept this primary from going too far from true progressive ideals.

He's my hero

8. That makes two of us, mvd.

And of the 5 delegates I voted for, 1 was for Kucinich, 2 were for Dean and 2 were for Kerry.

Now I've made my statement, and it's time to put Kerry in the White House!

12. I voted Kucinich too, down in Texas
I like Kerry a lot, but I thought it was important to tell the party that I stand to the left of them on many issues. Of course, like you I'll be supporting Kerry in the GE.

16. I voted for Kucinich as well
My state was a Super Tuesday one and by then Kerry looked like he'd have it. I originally wanted Dean because I thought Dean was the one that best fit my views which was most electable, but my heart was Kucinich, and every once in awhile in my life, I want to follow my heart even if logic dictates otherwise. I'm glad I could in the primary.
