I'd have to disagree - A kerry loss would just tell politicans that we as a nation are in love with warmongering hillbillies.

Kerry does represent (at least, at face value) what I'd be looking for in a president, though - He doesn't think we should have gone into Iraq to begin with, but isn't just going to yank our army out without restoring some kind of order to the place. But also, he claims that he won't just stick around in Iraq to plunder it, too. He thinks that other places such as North Korea are much bigger threats and that we should actually try talking to these people rather than ignoring them. He plans to roll back tax cuts for ridiculously wealthy people who couldn't possibly need them anyway and so on and so on. What about his policies isn't democratic, given the circumstances in which he'd be taking office?

I'm always hearing people say Kerry doesn't have a shot in hell, but I can't imagine many of the people that voted Gore in 2000 would switch to Bush and Gore had a majority going for him. Not to mention that plenty more people are going to vote against Bush now, given that there's a definitive reason to do so. For me to look at the situation without seeing how people react, Kerry winning would make a lot more sense than Bush. Then again, Americans are absolutely retarded.
