Well, and for what it's worth, Bush doesn't connect at all with me either - but Kerry is too stiff for the American public. That's why I was behind John Edwards in the early going during the primaries last time around. A smooth, elegant southern gentleman type of speaker, a great political "stump" man. very much in the tradition of Bill Clinton, Edwards was very likeable. Of course, he rarely could be bothered to vote in the senate, and his immediate jump to the presidential race so shortly after being elected to the senate alienated even his home state of North Carolina. Too many people around here simply don't realize how USEFUL it can be to a state to have a local in the white house. Oh well. NC always votes republican in the presidential elections. rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:219216 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
