2. Is it...
Really that much of a choice?? How much more evident does it really have to be?? Maybe if the ballots choices read Kerry or destruction of the free world.

3. Yup that is the choice. Too bad the ballots can't reflect it.

4. what will the smear be?
has he been scorned by the Administration? Is he resentful because of some political oversight? Is he mentally ill? I'm sure they'll have something to explain this....

6. No, he won't be voting for Kerry either. Like Buchanan, he'll
either vote 3rd or 4th party or write in the name of another repugnant one

8. That remark by Lindsey Graham was a little cryptic...
It makes me wonder if he'll do the same as Chafee.

He said, "What I like about him is that he can be a Republican senator and at the same time say he is unsure about a Republican president. He is a breath of fresh air in politics."

The fact is, we are in deep trouble in Iraq...and I think we are going to have to look at some recalibration of policy.

We made serious mistakes.
