26. It is possible that your "warming up" was colored by your feelings...
about your dad and his having served in the Navy like Kerry. I know that I became more turned off with the Swift Boat accusations. My husband is retired Navy, served before Vietnam and long after, and absolutely despised Kerry and identified strongly with the Swift Boat vets. Making matters worse for me was Kerry's never answering the charges which left me open to the "brow-beating" I got from my husband who constantly said that any politician with his experience would have produced his records if there were not something he needed to hide. I couldn't come up with a logical argument to counter that and was forced to remain silent while he ranted.

I still voted for Kerry, but I resented all the more that he ended up being the nominee.
