I've been getting more and more disappointed with Kerry's campaign lately, but I'm still unhappy with some of the elements of Bush's platform as well. I'm looking forward to the debates, to help me make up my mind. I'm also sorry that Kerry is the only choice on the Democrats side. I could easily see myself voting for Gore, and I'm sorry that he didn't run. I can't yet see myself voting for Kerry. And damn, but I wish McCain was an option. I'd vote for McCain, easy. Or Powell, he'd be an easy "Yes" too. |
