My own sense of Kerry comes from five years in Boston. I kept running into liberal Democrats who hated, hated, _hated_ George Bush. They also knew (as in had met) John Kerry (Massachusetts is a sufficiently small state that running into a Senator is a fairly common occurrence). And many of them said that they would vote for Bush before they voted for Kerry. It was quite remarkable - I've really never seen anything like it. Al Gore generated something of the same feeling, I think, but at a far lower level of intensity. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
