I was at the gym the other day and several people told me they were concerned about Bush's spending and thinking of not voting at all, but have gotten so ticked at Kerry and the AWOL story they now consider themselves broken glass Republicans.

Then I went to a luncheon and heard every single person at my table recount the same ideas and concerns. They are all voting for Bush, despite some misgivings.

I think the DNC overreached on this one and it backfired on them.

See, I wish I was more savvy on these types of issues, but something happened - I just can't figure out when and where.

It may have been the Jane Fonda connection or maybe it was the dragged out AWOL issue. Kerry doesn't seem to understand that many millions of people didn't go and went to college to avoid the war. It was their choice.

But for Kerry and the DNC to slime someone as beneath contempt because they joined the ANG, what does that say about the rest of Americans who didn't even do that? I think some people took it personal - who knows. Perhaps some started asking their dads what they did in the war, and dad had no answer.

I see the next President of the United States (in 2008) to be a veteran of the first Iraq war.

Having a debate on Vietnam only resonates with Baby Boomers - the rest of us are being ignored.
