Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Kerry's former running mate responds to his decision to endorse Barack Obama.
  • Edwards and Kerry don't get along very well

    and didn't even when they were running mates.

    But Edwards' response with mild and respectful. Why try to turn it into something it's not? Why assume Kerry's hitting Edwards on this? Isn't it also possible that he's backhanding Clinton as well?

    Or maybe he thinks Obama is the best candidate.

    Since I can't read his mind, I don't know, but as an Edwards supporter, Kerry's endorsement doesn't move my vote at all. I'll continue to support and speak up for the candidate who best expresses my issues. I love having a candidate I can be FOR instead of selecting the lesser of evils.

    Democrats have a great field of candidates to choose from this year. We're lucky and it would be great if Salon would cover the issues instead of the personalities. This isn't "People Magazine for Political Junkies" I hope.

    While we're at it, how about some substantive coverage of Edwards? A sizable percentage of Democrats support him in spite of the media blackout. Everyone benefits when all voices are heard.

    Please, cut the snark and stick to issues!
