Who is more similar to Dean?

Poll question: Who is more similar to Dean?

I guess this shouldn't really be a poll, because there are defined views both have, but quite honestly, I just don't know a lot about Edwards...

So... putting your personal views on either aside, which is closest to Dean?

(no "other" option, because I just want to know between these two)

[MercutioATC]

1. Neither. Both represent the status quo.

Edwards, however, had no domestic security credentials. Kerry may be more reptilian, but Edwards would be weaker against Bush.

[DaisyUCSB]

3. He has more security cred than Dean

6 years on the intelligence committee, before, during and after 9-11. On the senate investigation of 9-11, and on the judiciary committee.

Dean had the worst record of any governor when it came to the bare minimum of keeping his nuclear facilities safe

[MercutioATC]

10. Link to the reactor allegation, please?

It's funny how, despite his supposedly better security credentials, Edwards still voted for the IWR. That tells me that he's sat on committees but his judgement is suspect.

2. Edwards is unapologetic voting for Iraq war

at least Kerry has a conscience and smart enough to listen to Dean and more importantly appropriate what Dean was saying as his own.

[DaisyUCSB]

4. He voted for the Iraq resolution, not "for war"

Dean really spun the hell out of that vote for something that it wasn't. He only said that he would have voted against it after it didn't get the UN on board like it could have.

Congress never voted for the US to invade Iraq

5. WHat did they vote for, Daisy?

The right to enforce UN mandates?

[MercutioATC]

12. The IWR gave Congressional approval for Bush to wage war in Iraq

at his discresion. No, it wasn't a declaration of war but it was a resolution that allowed the President to use his own "judgement".

6. Kucinich!

Why Dean would endorse Edwards is still beyond me!

[BurtWorm]

7. Strong Dean supporter sees no resemblance between Dean and Edwards.

I don't get this affinity of Dean people for the vacuum that is John Edwards.

[ibegurpard]

8. I find him less offensive than Kerry.

eom

[BurtWorm]

9. I find him less substantial than any of the others

so I'm not surprised that anyone would find him less offensive. ;)

[Anwen]

11. None of the above.
