Sorry John Kerry fans. I want Bush gone. I thought the process of nomination the Democratic went through was a good way to find the absolute best candidate to take on Bush. At first, looking at Kerry's past, that he was a good choice. But it's apparant to me now that he will probably lose... even IF things keep getting worse.
Kerry's a bore just like Gore. He's a stiff who lacks charisma. The Bush smear machine is making mincemeat of him.
The Democrats should have chosen someone with charisma, or at the very least, a backbone to stand up against the baseless attacks. Bush has like $200 million he's going to spend. As Bill Maher said on Hardball recently, "a good enough television ad campaign could get people to eat paint."
And that's what is going to happen. Bush is going to pump out tons of propaganda ads attacking Kerry and the public will listen to them and vote Bush.
Kerry sucks. I'm still voting for the Democratic nominee because I want Bush gone, but I doubt it will make much difference. The polls on Bush, once dropping, are now rising in recent weeks despite a flurry of bad press for Bush... Iraq getting worse, Bob Woodward's revelations, sluggish economy... and Bush's numbers still rise.

While the commercials have been getting results, it's early days yets and (as of a couple of weeks ago):
quote:
The president raised a record $180 million, and half of that was budgeted for campaign operations, the other half for pre-convention advertising. But of the advertising budget, $90 million, the Bush campaign has already spent at least $40 million.
By comparison, John Kerry has spent about $10 million.

Yeah, it's kind of funny. My wife Hates Bush, but she refuses to vote for Kerry. Too bad for the dems. |
Why's that? Imran, who is right of center, says he likes Kerry. What about Kerry does your wife not like?
J-Rabbit, you're probably right. But I'm a worrier.
Sloww: Someone like me would never win. I'm not going to lie, and I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. To win a presidential election, you need to pander and you need the stupid vote (which is upwards of 75% of voters). Plus, one of my platforms would be ending the drug war. It's hard to win an election in America if your basically pro-drug, but anti-church... like me. 
And I wouldn't blow sunshine up people's ass. Sorry. Cynics like me wouldn't win an election. Although, it would be entertaining to watch me go up against somebody like Bush. If he ran an ad saying, "Well, Sava is weak on defense." I'd rebut it with, "**** you douchebag, I'll nuke your ****ing ass and any ******* that ****s with America."

yep, that about sums it up. My wife would have voted for almost anybody that wasn't Bush. ALMOST.
