Ben & Jerry's tastes like funky monkeys flinging crap. John Edwards's report card on defense spending priorities has more "NAs" and "Undecideds" than Phish Food has chocolate fish in it. Caucus4Priorities endorsing him was a total cop-out and just shows those fake hippies don't have the balls to back up their peacenik convictions -- Dennis Kucinich sailed to an A+ on their little report card, but God forbid they stand on principle. And if their 10,000 bleating pledge-signers didn't want to "throw their vote away" (perhaps they shouldn't swear fidelity to a PAC? no, wait), they could've looked no further than the guy moving into 4th right behind Edwards; Biden had almost twice as many favorable answers and twice the budget savings pledged than Pony Boy. (Oh yeah, and that other middle-tier guy did well, too.) Story:

Glad the putative leaders of Pakistan know who to call when the fit hits the shan; talk about being ready to be president on day one, the guy can already do the job. Good thing this election is about skillz and not money!
Actually, if Peacniks want to support a candidate, only one of the four top candidates supports a withdrawl from Iraq.
His name is richardson.
Kucinich has been to Asheville NC three times. IA and MI once and NH around 10...
Anyone know why he would go to NC and one town in particular disproportionately more than any other state? Im kinda curious.
All I can say is if you look at the questionaire, most of the stuff that was dodged were specific weapons systems, which each got the stock answer "I'm not sure if they are needed or not - they'd be part of my top-to-bottom review" from Edwards.
On this one you've just got a different choice of priorities. Your favored candidate could probably tell me the gross weight and paint job options for a healthy number of systems. He's set out for a lot of troubles abroad.
My favored candidate is more cognizant of the war at home (and unlike Richardson, is willing to call class war what it is) and has most of his focus back here.
