110. I'm doing my best to like him
His record is great. His policies are certainly preferable to what we have now. And yet... He makes me uneasy. Rather than embracing his past of liberal activism, he seems eager to hide it from view.

I don't question his campaign strategy, though. His tactics thus far have been very effective. And I don't have to be thrilled with everything he does to vote for him in November.

My heart is with Kucinich, my brain was for Clark or Dean, but since the Democratic party insists on it, I will have no qualms giving my vote to Sen. Kerry.
