Do you feel the same as me? That the Democratic front-runners are a less-than-stellar group of candidates, but any one of them would be infinitely better than what we have now. So, it's Hillary, Obama, Edwards.Edwards is the only one of the three front-runners who has a universal health care plan that will lead to the single-payer kind all other civilized countries have. He is the only one who has correctly pointed out that the health insurance companies are the enemy and should not have a seat at the table.Edwards has said, point-blank, that he's going after the drug companies and the oil companies and anyone else who is messing with the American worker. The media clearly find him to be a threat, probably because of their monopolistic power, too. This is Roosevelt/Truman. And Edwards voted for the war. But he has stated quite forcefully that he was wrong. And he has remorse. He'd have all the troops’ home in less than a year.

He is the candidate who says “I absolutely believe to my soul that this corporate greed and corporate power has an ironclad hold on our democracy." 'Cause the candidate who understands that, and who sees it as the root of all evil is the President who may lead us to a place of sanity, justice and peace.Senator Hillary Clinton disastrous, premeditated vote to send us to war in Iraq and every single OTHER vote she then cast for the next four years, backing and funding Bush's illegal war. She voted for Bush's first bankruptcy bill, and she is now the leading recipient of payoff money from the health care industry- Obama is #2.Barack Obama is a good and inspiring man. But who is he? He was against the war. But since he joined the Senate, he has voted for the funds for the war. Obama says he's for the little guy, but then he votes for a corporate-backed bill to make it harder for the little guy to file a class action suit when his kid swallows lead paint from a Chinese-made toy. Obama doesn't think Wall Street is a bad place. He wants the insurance companies to help us develop a new health care plan
