9. That's exactly right!
Kerry in 08? I don't think so. I love John Kerry, personally. I think that he's an honest and good man who has served his country well.

But he wouldn't get my support in 08. Why fight for someone, when they aren't willing to fight for you and your interests?

He should be FURIOUS about what happened in Ohio.

You know, some people complain that Al Gore didn't fight enough. But I disagree. He did way more than John Kerry, in the aftermath of a questionable election result.

When the Surpreme Court handed down their decision to stop the counting, I remember hearing on TV that Gore and his advisors were up all night, reading and re-reading the decision to see if they were any openings they saw in the opinion, that would allow them to pursue their case further. They saw nothing in the Justices' opinion that would allow the counting to continue.

Gore went as far as he could. Kerry did not. That is disgraceful, and an affront to the very people that supported him.
