46 for Kerry, 5 for Bush, 1 for neither (really for Kerry but she's not an American so she can't vote), 1 for the Green Party, and one for the Libertarians. I wonder how that compares to other news sources. I know most news reporters and editors lean towards the Democrats. Tim

<<...Scott Moore, General Manager of the MSN News and Information Division: Kerry I voted for Bush/Cheney in 2000 because I believed they would implement better economic policies than Gore would have.

As a business person, I judge job performance on the basis of results and I hold people accountable for their commitments. After four years Dick & W, I have just two words for you: "You're fired!"

On top of that we've had to endure the disgraceful spectacles of Bush boasting "mission accomplished" (uh, no); Cheney equating a vote for Kerry with a vote for terror (gee, that's subtle); and a president seemingly unable to acknowledge reality, let alone change policy in the face of setbacks (inflexibility is anathema to leadership). The extent to which Bush/Cheney has made fear of terror the centerpiece of their re-election campaign is truly pathetic. Great American leaders don't emphasize the negative in the world; they emphasize America's values, its history and its capacity for doing good works at home and abroad. These times demand strong positive leadership. I don't know if John Kerry can provide it, but I'm certain George W. Bush hasn't and won't. In a time of war, I'm ready to give a man who voluntarily and bravely served his country in combat and in the Senate a chance...>> slate.msn.com
