over the past few days.

And I think I have benefited from the mass media coverage of such a honorable veteran.

However, in the pit of my gut, I fear him as the nominee. I fear the status quo. I'm not energized when I hear him speak, read his record, listen to him debate, nor study his biography.

Would it be better to have a weak, moderate democrat in 04? Or a few more years of extremism that fuels the fire of true revolt - not quasi-discomforted irritation with the system that allows a Kerry to be nominated, even elected, but not change.

Its been nice getting to know him, but I really don't want to know any more - he hasn't challenged the system in the past, and he hasn't challenged me now. I could easily sit this election out if he is the Dem's choice.

Just a thought
