I think that once they are on the ballot, they can’t be taken off. I don’t know. My vote doesn’t count, I’m in FL.

Edwards dropped out, what, the day before our primary. Think of how many votes he received.

The idea that anyone could argue that those votes should now be counted is insane.

People vote noncommitted if their candidate of choice isn’t on the ballot. In MI Hillary was the only one of the main three on the ballot but only garnered about half the vote. 40% were uncommitted, presumably Edwards and Obama supporters.

I’m gonna say an unusually bitchy (even for me) thing here… they’re the same people who voted for the godforsaken idiot we have in office right now.

All the former candidates were still on my state’s ballot too, and I watched the returns scroll across the bottom of the TV screen that night, wondering how even my state could be home to 600 fools who would actually push a button for Dennis Kucinich.

Not me. I wouldn’t do it for a bazillion dollars, which makes me suspect why any of these guys are running in the first place.

They could just pencil in my name. I will happily decline to serve if elected.
