Oy.

The legendary herb primitive wasn't off Skins's island for long.

Up until now, I didn't have a second choice

I was for Edwards all the way. Still am. But if the unthinkable should happen (no cheering from the "he's a phony" crowd, if you please--you people make me want to puke) I will support Hillary over Obama.

You might ask why and remind me of her IWR vote, her Iran vote, her pandering to the nitwits with her video game and flag-burning crap. And, yes, it's true I'm not thrilled about any of that. You might remind me that John called her the "Status Quo" candidate (some time after I did, if I want to be perfectly honest about it) and that Obama comes across more as an "agent of change."

But I've been thinking about it a lot lately and what it comes down to is that I won't support a candidate who doesn't recognize how truly nasty and evil the top dog Republicans actually are. Someone who thinks that he can "reach across the aisle" without losing at least a few fingers. Hillary KNOWS what we're up against there and they're still trying to take her down.

Anyone the Repugs hate THAT much can't be ALL bad. Anyone who takes the hits that she has and keeps on going has more than her share of guts. I can stand behind that.

And it just might be that she's had an epiphany recently--something that reminded her WHY she's in this in the first place. There was a note of sincerity in her voice the other night during her concession speech that hinted to me that she wasn't echoing Johnny's populist rhetoric as a political ploy.

I could be wrong. I know that. I could have been wrong from the beginning about Johnny himself, and I could be wrong now. But I consider myself a fair judge of character and I have hope that we might actually get a real Dem in the White House again.

I thought I'd fall Obama's direction for the longest time. But I can't wrap my mind around the reconciliatory tone. I just can't. I don't want to watch someone smile back at those bastards while they're kicking us in the teeth yet again.

So, here, take these nails. I'll go get the wood myself. Crucify me if you must, but this is the way it's going to be.

Edwards first. Hillary second.

I know this isn't going to make me popular with some folks but that's okay.

The legendary herb primitive started this during the middle of the night, so the campfire's still building.

26. Not being popular on DU seems to be in the thing.

Thankfully your vote does not mean anything in a popularity contest. I wish you and your candidate all the best, but if anything happens and you do come over to Hillary, rest assured you will be welcomeed with open arms of the group IMO is the least popular on DU.

None of them can.

Mythsaje seems to enjoy betting on the wrong horse so to speak.
