If there are any ABB people left --
you HAVE to watch the PBS Frontline program, "The Choice." It's an objective look at both candidates and the contrast is absolutely amazing. I don't know how the Republicans were ever able to call Kerry a flip-flopper because his message is amazingly consistent all the way back to when he was in college.

It's available for online viewing at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004/view/

I started off ABB and grew to like Kerry but the more I learn about him, the more I admire and respect him!

1. absolutely!
I said last night that the thing that really started to bring me to Kerry from ABB was watching his 1971 testimony (it was shown on CSPAN a few months ago). It gave me a great appreciation for who John Kerry is. If you haven't seen "Going Upriver," DO SO! It has some of the same footage as the Frontline program, but it goes a little more into depth about his anti-war work.

He is an amazing man, and I am SO looking forward to seeing him in the White House! :bounce:

2. I've downloaded but haven't watched it because I've been waiting
for my husband to be able to watch it with me.

To heck with him -- I think I'll go ahead and watch! :D

3. Oh, screw your husband! (haha, little pun there)
I watched it (sans hubby) as soon as I downloaded it, but then I ordered the DVD, which should ship this week. I plan on watching that with Mr. Vote as soon as it arrives. I knew he'd want to see it - he's a Vietnam vet - and I figured it would be better on a tv than on the computer.

I thought I was going to watch the downloaded movie while I cleaned my office - I didn't get ONE piece of paper filed while the movie was running. I was spellbound.

4. I will see your wart and raise you two pimples
Hey, looky here, I was ABB when found this board a couple years ago and you are not going to get me change. Like it really doesn’t matter to me if the Democrats have a very damn good candidate for the job, that is all their problem, my only purpose is to help get rid of Bushco. After that I will find something else to work on. But gosh darn it we are on a mission here. In pursuit of the S.O.B.'s that stole the vote. We can't rest till we pay em back for this egregious behavior.

5. I'm 100% behind Kerry now
It had been building up, but after watching the Debates and the Frontline show, I know he's the man for the job.
