2. I think that Kerry is one of the few Dem candidates that is "electable..."
I'm almost sorry to say. I like alot of what Kucinich has to say, although I understand he has gone back and forth on the abortion issue, which is a big deal to me. I also like Dean, I just don't think he has the charisma to get elected. He looked horrible on MTP and kind of reminds me of Elmer Fudd. I know that is VERY shallow, but I believe most voters are shallow. Kerry is a combat vet, he has a voting record, some of which I don't agree with, he's highly educated and has a record of accomplishment, none of which was handed to him. He protested the Vietnam war, and although he was late to the table, I believe he's against what's going on now. That being said, I know I'm gonna get flamed, he's tall, good-looking, charismatic and can string together a sentence, and I think that's what people vote for. I worry about his skull and bones history, but am willing to forgive it.

There, I said it.
