126. "Kerry isn't campaigning to appeal to me" - and he's not going to
Presidential campaigns are not about appealing to YOU, YOU, YOU! Maybe you've noticed, but there are millions of people who vote.

He's counting on me to vote for him because a vote for GWB is unthinkable; and he's right. He's got my vote

So you think Kerry should campaign for your vote even though he already has it? Let me guess, you've never been a campaign manager?

For many independents, the whole reason they will vote for Kerry is to keep republicans out of the WH.

As a teacher, you should know that assertions like this ought to have some sort of factual basis. Studies have shown that most independents abhor partisanship, and have little loyalty to either party, so it's unlikely that they are motivated by partisan considerations, such as getting Repukes out of the White House.


Basically, you've lodged a complaint about this, but the only reason you give is how it makes YOU, YOU, YOU, feel. It's like saying the chemotherapy isn't working because it makes the patient feel miserable.
