<<<He just looks SO appealing compared to Dumbya, Hillary or Kerry.>>>

I agree. What I don't understand is why Hillary and junior are still as popular as they are. I know junior still has about 30% of the people fooled but I can't understand how his numbers are that high. Gore is polling about where I would expect and Kerry is way down from what should be expected from our last democratic presidential candidate. Spirits' continuously cramming Kerry down everyone's throats nonstop couldn't have hurt hurt him that much could it? I think his walking away from Ohio when he knew he had been cheated instead of putting up a fight may be the main reason Kerry is polling down there with the "other's receiving votes" instead of up there with the top 4 or 5.

Here's the KOS poll I mentioned earlier. Spirit can now say Kerry is the best choice because he got 25% more votes than Hillary. We won't hear him mention that Gore got about 1000 times as many votes as Kerry. We may hear him say this poll is meaningless though. He's right in the sense that if the general public was polled by telephone Gore wouldn't beat the rest of them by any such margin but it does show support for Gore among political junkies.

I'm glad to see that Feingold did so well. He might make a better president than Gore but Gore is more electable.
