Funny, I have almost no personal emotion towards any of the candidates. I support Bush because I think he's doing the right thing, most of the time. I roll my eyes at a lot of what Kerry says. But dislike or hatred? Nope. I was disgusted at what Clinton did re: Monica, and appalled at some of what he did politically in retrospect, but I don't feel as strongly, say, as I remember my mother feeling over Nixon and Watergate. She had supported him and was livid over what happened, and voted for Carter because she was so angry at Ford for pardoning Nixon.

No doubt this is all irrational, but the heart has reasons, etc.

The only politician I can ever remember feeling that way about was Ollie North. To this day he still gives me the shivers. So I can relate to what you're saying although I don't think I could muster much antipathy with any frequency.

Mrs. Edwards seems like a lovely human being. As does Mrs. Bush. It would be terribly hard to hate either of them I would think.
