156. And me
I started out vague Clarkie (was only just awakening politically) and ended up a big Kerry supporter.

I still would like to have someone point out the poll or any other proof that most of the Kerry voters were ABB. Where did this statistic of 70% come from. Are people going mostly from anecdotal? Well if you tend toward farther left, then yeah, perhaps most of your friends were ABB. But I hung with mostly mainstream folk, and I'd say my experience was more 70% going the other way.

See anecdotal isn't going to work. It's not going to be a good indication of the rank and file. For one thing, I sense that we here are left of the rank and file. Of course, I could be wrong and welcome anyone who wants to show me I'm wrong.

But I do wish folks would back up this claim that most votes for Kerry were ABB. I haven't gotten anyone to show me any proof yet.
