1. Why doesn't anyone ever put Obama first?
As in Obama/Edwards, Obama/Clinton, etc.

and the youngest.

7. He has a lot more experience in government, politics, and
working in the public's interest than does Edwards. Not even close.

5. I like Sen. Obama but truely feel that he is not ready to be Pres.
After listening to him scores of times, I feel that he isn't ready to deal with the
major problems that will be left after Busholini vacates the WH. Sen. Obama is too
tennative on major issues.

9. The more I see of him, I think he agrees.
And his failure at last night's debate looked like he was still holding out hope for a VP spot with Hillary.

8. Because it's not realistic
I don't see Edwards accepting another veep slot, nor do I think Queen Hillary would lower herself to do it.

10. I don't feel that sen. Obama could win in the General.
Sen. Edwards definitely could do so.

11. I disagree. Edwards is the weakest of all our candidates.
His negatives are huge. He's ran away from every Senate vote he ever made, and ran away from the Senate, too. And do we really want months and months of his "I feel pretty" video? :puke:

14. I think Edwards has a lot of negatives
and some of it comes from the fact that his home state of NC is a strong anti-union, right-to-work state.

NC as a state has a serious military-industrial complex, too many military bases, x-treme rightwing politicians.

Granted that Jimmy Carter also came from a state (Georgia) with similar negative qualities (military bases, rightwing politicians, anti-union history), but he has always projected a pacifist image and he was a humble, honest and sincere man. Don't know if Edwards has the same type of character I would admire. He's a war hawk based on his record so far. I have a funny feeling he has a hidden, covert agenda and he would drift too far to the right once he is elected as President.
