I, too, would support Edwards if I were a Democrat. I don't see any way he would ever leave the party, though, particularly not to get his fingernails dirty with a third party...<BR/><BR/>I agree, too, that UHC won't "come from" any of the Dems. UHC will only happen through a focused mass demand for it, impossible to ignore. When that happens, it won't matter which party is in power. <BR/><BR/>I'll certainly be a faithful rank-and-file marcher when that time comes!Matt J Stannardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236787482565862733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417577.post-80234319133354962892008-01-03T00:57:00.000-07:002008-01-03T00:57:00.000-07:00Many Green Party members supported drafting Nader....Many Green Party members supported drafting Nader.
