Do any DUers who voted for Bush in 2000 plan to vote for Kerry this year?
Are there any DUers who voted for Bush in 2000, but, for whatever reason, plan on voting for Kerry this year?

What state do you live in?

I voted for Bush in 2000 because I think he came off as better than Gore during the campaign. I wasn't a party man; I was neutral, but I was a big fan of Paul Wellstone. (I livwe in Minnesota. Can you tell?)

In 2002, I saw Bush going after Democrats like my Senator Wellstone, not caring about how supportive of him they were, but attacking them for that D beside their name. I began seriously questioning Bush.

Then, I saw the outrage over Wellstone's memorial service, which I saw as hypoctritical, since they themselves exploited September 11. and that's when I decided to make it official:

I am a Democrat.

I, like most of you, wondered where my party's leadership was, but I supported them nonetheless; they made more sense to me than the Republicans.

I supported Gephardt, but now I support Kerry, and I will do what I can to make him elected.

4. Good for you!
:thumbsup:

And welcome to the Kerry campaign. :)

But, no, I didn't vote for Bush in 2000. I thought Gore was a pathetic candidate, too, though, but a better hope for a decent president than Bush could ever have been.
