MY PARTY JUST MADE ME A SWING VOTER


I did my part - voting for Edwards bright and early this morning in the New York primary. Unfortunately, the rest of my fellow Democrats were dead-set on nominating Kerry instead. So, as of tommorrow, when the Democrats most talented candidate drops out of the race, I officially become a swing voter. Considering that the chances of Bush reversing himself on 1) taxes and the deficit, 2) abusing the consitution with the FMA and 3) fully funding federal education mandates is negligible, there's really little chance of me heading that way. But I am rather skeptical that over the next 8 months, John Kerry can convince me that he has the vision to lead the United States in the war on terror and understands the how essential advancing democracy worldwide is in that struggle. He has 8 months to make his case.
