I don't support or agree with much that has been said about Kerry. I worked on his campaign. I got to hear him up close, not through Republican sound-bites or disgruntled Dean supporters. I'll say this. Kerry can beat Bush if he doesn't get sabotaged by negative sour grapes from the opposition to Bush. A vote for Nader or a write-in by Democrats will mean a vote for Bush. I don't agree with everything Kerry says but he's not the simplistic "establishment" figure that some here are trying to make him out to be. Following this "party line" will ensure Bush's victory. I believe he is thoughtful, not quick to act impulsively, speaks without "talking down" to people like Gore, absolutely sincere in his convictions and the fact that he's not quite the smooth campaigner that others are is a point in his favor. He's staying with the issues. Frank
