How many people will still be 'holding their nose'..........

when they vote for Kerry?

Did tonight's performance make anyone a believer who wasn't already firmly in Kerry's camp?

I voted for Dennis in the primary, but I'm feeling quite good about the prospect of pulling the lever (and hopefully not touching the screen) for Kerry in November.

1. I became a Kerry fan tonight.
And I'll be proud when I cast my vote for him in November.
Thank you, John. You made me a believer again.

2. I, for one...
I think Kerry improved his chances of winning the election tonight, because he did the things that I have not seen him do well in the past:make his points succinctly and clearly explain the nuances in his positions (that Bush likes to paint as flip flops).

Kerry is far better than Bush, and I will be spending the next few weekends as a volunteer with the Move-On get out the vote campaign. Nonetheless, I am still troubled by Kerry's promotion of militaristic might. As a lifelong pacifist, I am deeply troubled by any candidate who has as key planks in his platform that he intends to kill people, or win wars. Because I believe it is crucial to our collective future, I will be voting against Bush and actively working to defeat him (which means working to elect Kerry), but I still cannot personally vote "for" Kerry rather than "against" Bush.
