Reply #115: I still have a lot of respect for Kerry

[Time for change]

He's done a great deal for his country, he trounced * in all three debates, and he ran a good enough campaign that he would have beat * in any election where the voting machines weren't owned by the opposition party.

But he had his chance and he dropped out of the contest way too soon IMO. I will not vote for any candidate in the primaries who doesn't acknowledge the serious problem that we have with our election system and indicate that he or she will act accordingly.

So I would vote for Clark over Kerry, pending seeing what his position is on the above issue.

Barbara Boxer has my vote as it stands now, for her statement on January 6 -- without which meaningful election reform in this country would be even less likely than it is today.
