3. Since they are not close enough to
Kucinich's positions in regards to Healthcare and trade. I have very little enthusism for the big three.

2. Yes
and that makes the bitter feuding between some members of their supporting factions here look that much more absurd to those of us who don't back a top-tier candidate.

5. I think their main disagreement is how to implement their policies.
They all believe we need health care reform, pension reform, education reform, etc.
This puts them light years ahead of any republican candidate. That being said, I am voting for Edwards in the primary but will support any winner in the general election.

6. Differences only in degree, not substance. Hence, the rough and tumble race. nt

7. not a lot of difference between any of them.
that`s why i don`t care who wins. nothing much will change in the next 8 years under a democrat. i see a slow return to the center but no deep fundamental change in the country.

11. In the top three, I see a difference in Edwards from the other two.

I see a big difference in Kucinich and the field also. Also, a difference in Dodd from the other senators.
