Why I have chosen Edwards as my Choice?

[Mrspeeker]

Because I like southern accents hehe...

No seriously because he is the only real logical choice if you want to elect someone that works for the actual people of this country and has a good chance to actually win. My heart will always be with someone like DK but my votes got to be with Edwards.

1. Because you can not support

either Clinton or Obama on DU without being murdered by other members for voicing your opinion or asking a question.

5. No thats not it

I'm actually one of those creates a flame post lol, its actually because he is by far the only vote that will count for the people that actually has a chance to win, and I don't care what MSN tells me either.

2. I'm a late boomer like Obama (1 year older)

during that time

I've seen manufacturing leave the US
I've seen service jobs leave the US
I've seen professional jobs leave the US
I've seen corporations hire professionals overseas and board them here in the US to save money while Americans in the same occupations can't get jobs because they can't live 4/apartment
I've seen income practically stagnant
I've seen ppl's retirements virtually lost because companies were able to use bankruptcy to get out of prior retirement commitments
my retirement plans have been restructed so that right now I expect to see <40% what I was expecting to receive in 1999
I'm worried about whether 3 children have anything like the opportunies me and my spouse had (and ours weren't great because we were late boomer)

I've seen plenty of bipartisanship when it serves the interest of business or agriculture
I've seen virtually no bipartisanship when it serves the interest of human citizens (esp those that are the least among us - children, elderly, disabled)

Edwards is the only candidate talking about trying to rebalance the scales so that we the people matter.
I'm doing fine (I was doing great while Clinton was in office). But I have three children to worry about.

No issue, absolutely no issue, is as important to me as protecting the future of our children.
