1. First of all: Al WHO???? In 2000 I voted for Bush instead of voting for "Nothing". Bush only won because he had no opposition, and Surprisingly, even then, "nothing" won the popular vote. Al "Who" was VEP, but was just as ineffectual, and nothing but a "yes" man. I owe him no respect. then, or now. He was a "nothing then, and still is. 2. I don't think Kerry is much better, but I did vote for him in 04. The Dems have to come up with better choices. I expect to vote for another republican, because with one single exception, ( which I am not sure of) no one has come out ot the Democratic Woodwork ------YET. __________________
