OK, if you're a Democrat, are there any of the front runners that you're more excited about than the others? It appears Kerry is the strongest one. If you know his key views, please let me know. I'll be honest, I usually don't pay close attention until it's been narrowed down to the last man.

Baloo, Does this mean you are Democrat? Or someone that decides between parties once you hear their views, program ideas etc?

All my life I have voted Republican. I'm trying to educate myself on all fronts. Let's just call me an 'undecided Republican'.

Glad I am not the only one. It's gonna take a lot from Democrats to get my vote but at least I am willing to listen.

I have not supported one Dem candidate exclusively up to this point. I definitely like Clark. He's got a great track record as a military leader and a diplomat. That's what we need right now. I like Dean, too, if only for his capacity to raise a BUNCH of money and his moderate fiscal stance and gun control opinions.
Kerry was never my first choice, but I've got no problems with him. He's far from a typical Massachussetts liberal and he's got a sterling war record, unlike Bush. He's also got a very strong grasp of foreign policy and diplomacy, which will be refreshing change of pace from the bluster and lies of the current misAdministration.

I personally like Wesley Clark and John Kerry, I hope that Clark is able to hang in there. I like the fact that Clark has a military background, seems easier for me to look up to someone who has some experience. Kerry's politial background is also something good. We'll see.....I am not too crazy about Howard Dean, although I do like his platform.
Anyone but BUSH suits me fine, I have grown tired of his ARROGANT administration.

Okay, so as not to cause Baloo to FAINT again. Here is the REAL reason I intend to vote for Kerry: I think Kerry is the reincarnation of Kennedy. Both men are/were from Massachusetts. Both are/were Democrats. Both are/were Senators. Both are named John. Both have the initials JFK. (Kerry's middle name is Forbes) Both are/were Irish Catholic. Both had stellar war records. Both served in the Navy. Both are/were sons of a diplomat. There is a Kerry Kennedy. She is JFK's neice. Both have/had sexy accents. Both are/were cute.  |
