I volunteered for, and voted for Senator Kerry, because he was the best candidate, and the one who had sound ideas and the leadership qualities to make a great president. It never crossed my mind to vote for him because he could beat Bush. I always thought Bush would trip over his own lack of leadership and his bad decisions. I was wrong about the outcome of that election, but I still support Senator Kerry today, because of my respect for the man. It still saddens me to think where we might of been in this country, if Bush had not won reelection.
