18. Both polls represent the shallowness of voters when it
comes to picking candidates. I realize we at the JK forum love the man but respect his opinions and voting record. We make well researched informed choices, but many people do not. They vote on one or two things only. Of the attributes I mentioned, it is my opinion Kerry fits them all well.These things are also important in a candidate to some degree and some of the candidates who are being suggested don't even come close to measuring up to these. To get into issues would bog down the poll and as we know, many of those going for the lastest fad candidate or someone similar base there opinion on one issue or current event only. As I explained to one poster, it is assumed that candidate A is a progressive and votes our ideals most of the time and is not to be considered a one issue candidate. I was hoping to get people to start thinking about how much they really do not know about their choice of of a candidate and also how silly these polls really are. It is interesting that some people see they're candidate in candidate A, when in fact, their candidate isn't even close.
