Who I'll support
In the General Election I will support whomever the Democratic nominee is, but I have to say that it would be nice to feel really good and positive about my vote for a change.

I've bounced around in my support between the three top candidates. It would be a wonderful thing to vote for the first AA president or the first woman president. But, the message that really resounds with me that of John Edwards.

I don't want to bash the other candidates. They each have good qualities and I don't need to drag them down to build Edwards up.

So, Mr. Edwards you have my donation and come the primary you have my vote.

5. That's me.
I would have loved to have supported the first woman or AA candidate in the primary, but John's message speaks to me strongly. I believe he is passionate about it, and I therefore am passionate about helping him give us all the voice we deserve and which has been stolen from us.

Thanks for sharing!

:hi:

6. I've really struggled with it but came to the conclusion
that I can't throw my support to a candidate based on race or gender.
