During Wisco's primary I'm putting Edwards name down, but this move by Obey signals where I'll put my vote in November, providing Clinton doesn't get the Democratic nomination. Don't misconstrue that last statement to mean I will not vote for the Democratic nominee.
And Obey has made that choice.
"For eight long years, in extreme partisanship, George W. Bush has governed this country by dividing it," the senior Democrat from Wisconsin explained in an email sent to this reporter after we spoke about the race Thursday. "(Bush) has pursued disastrous foreign and domestic policies and has stubbornly refused to listen to anyone's views except those who march in lockstep with him. America desperately needs a new president who can reach across old barriers to form new alliances that can produce a new era of optimism and a healthier respect for the needs of others. I had originally supported John Edwards for President, but with his withdrawal I am voting for Barack Obama."

Having been orphaned by both Dodd and Edwards I too will follow Obey's advice, however I will vote for Obama in the primary unlike Mr. Creek. I believe that with no Republican contest Hilary will recieve many Republican votes and so I will try to even things out. In addition the Clintons seem to leave behind a lot of garbage wherever they go. I supported Bill during the great blowjob crisis because he was getting railroaded, but there were many reasons to criticize his administration (NAFTA etc). I have no desire to return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, it is time for the Clintons to bow out gracefully or ungracefully. Screw these dynasties - look what the last one brought us.
Hadn't thought of the ReThugs voting in our primary. Food for thought. Thanks for that. You sure are correct about the Clinton's, time to settle into retirement for Bill & for Hillary to work her way up to be the a Dem leader in the Senate.
