85. I've supported Kerry since day one
For three issues.

1. He's a staunch supporter of women's rights. And he's always had that position. I know he will always protect my rights.

2. The environment. I think he's incredibally strong on this issue. I don't think we had a better choice for an environmentally conscious president. He even out does Gore. And that's saying something.

3. His higher education plan kicks everyone else's ass. One of the major reasons I disliked Dean is that his plan came out very, very late and then it was a lame attempt. He just figured he needed something on the table, and it sucked. Kerry's plan will help me directly. I can't say that for any of the plans presented on any other issue or by any other candidate.

When I was younger I was a one issue voter- the candidate must be pro-choice. Now I'm primarily a three issue voter-- I did my research months ago and Kerry was the closest to my core beliefs (which was surprising for a former Socialist).

I've also met Kerry on two occasions and I really like him as a person.
