3902393, My primary journey led to Edwards: the most trustworthy, passionate, and sincere

I can't help feeling that this election is a clear crossroads, a fork in the road if you will, with the direction we take making all the difference in our collective future. The future does not lie in the hands of one man or woman, but rather in the hands of all of us ... now and after the election. Whoever takes office, it will be up to us to hold them accountable for their actions ... and to taking action of our own, independently and collectively, to ensure that our interests are being served and the issues close to our hearts (and heads) are being addressed.

Either we keep spiraling into the abyss of debt and deficit, dismal foreign policy, Constitutional erasure, widening class divides, undue and unchecked power among corporate interests, and less and less true representation of the American people in Washington ... OR we will elect a leader who will not solve all the world/s ills, but will definitely lead the way to a brighter chapter in our American experience and evolution as well as a more positive, responsible role in the world community.

We all know this. The question is: WHO?

During my primary journey I looked at the merits and issues of each candidate through direct and supplementary sources, virtual and personal contact, printed materials, media coverage, citizen media commentary, and candidate appearances (to me, the most valuable). The debates were no help because they didn't do much to reveal the candidates or their ideas. They were more like rapid fire game shows, tongue in cheek talk shows, and sometimes a combination between the WWF and Saturday Night Live.
