    I don't know if John Edwards is necessarily out of the game. Honestly, with the Republicans I don't think there's real stability in terms of who will win. Huckabee and Romney are leading but who knows. It's not as cut and clear as with the Democrat race where it is going to be Clinton, Obama or Edwards. None of the other candidates have a chance.

    I think McCain and Guiliani both still have a plausible chance - or at least better chance of coming out on top that the other Democrats (besides the "big 3") do in their respective elections.

    But people still like to stick with their cause and don't go in for strategic voting that much. I would be shocked to see Ron Paul supporters jump ship - they are with him for the long haul. I for one would switch my support if one was doing much better. Because if it is looking like between two candidates and I don't like one, or hate the other one less - it makes no sense for me to support an extra candidate with no chance, meanwhile the person I would have preffered over the winner loses.

    But honestly, for the Democrats - there's no point to be picky. I really think Hillary is going to win. Don't give me a thumbs down based on that prediciton - but that is my prediction.

    I don't think I would vote for either of them. But I certainly wouldn't vote for the person the media tells me to. I'm voting for the candidate I think will be the best person to get the job done.

    I will vote for the person I want to win. It doesn't matter what the polls say. It is more important to me to cast my vote based on my values and ideas then to go along with the crowd.

    I'm going to vote for who I want, not who the media tells me.

    no, because my vote will be wasted.
