I tried thaton another college message board and I get anybody but Bush. And these people have Masters, you would think they could stretch it out a bit.
"I tried thaton another college message board and I get anybody but Bush"
Don't you get it? This is the only reason that Bush is even still competitive. If the RATS had a half-way decent candidate, this would probably all be over now. Bush makes a lot of people even slightly to the right of center very nervous. This is not a result of his policies, but rather his near total lack of communication skills. He can't speak so that the whole nation can understand him, leave alone people in other nations. Perhaps people in Lubbock understand him crystal clear, but the rest of us cringe when he opens his mouth.
This has led to a sense among a lot of people that any alternative is better. Al Sharpton, had he won the nomination would probably still be competitive based on the same thought process. It is the wrong process, but expecting busy people to think intently about poltics on a daily basis is not to be expected. This is why we have a representative government.
Kerry is so terrible though it disgusts me that people here spend so much time attacking him rather than promoting what the President has really done. Unfortunately, the need to constantly say, "what the President meant was. . . ." is a big problem.
But, since I do pay attention, I know who I will be voting for.
