OK - I disagree. So far, all I've heard is crap from all but Edwards and Sharpton.

The rest, inlcluding JFK, have basically been "we're coming you're going, don't let the door hit you on the way out," etc.

I liked Edwards' approach. He's got some specifics in his platform that make sense. I don't agree with all as I don't agree with Bush on much of his domestic agenda.

You don't seem to understand the point or the way Americans vote. Nobody agrees with the extreme positions, including the platform stuff that the DNC or the RNC puts together. We vote with a feel as to who will protect the nation better, who will be more moderate and who has better character and charisma.

I'm not saying that's a great thing but it's reality.

IMO - Kerry v Bush.

Bush wins on protecting the country.
Kerry wins on social agenda - but I may be wrong in that more of the nation is more socially conservative than I am.

Both pretty bad IMO in character issues and neither excites in charisma.

Again - Bush wins - not by a landslide but by default.
