I want to like Kerry but can't, he seems to stand for lots of things I agree wiith, although not all. G W Shrub will be a hard man to shift, and I'm not sure Kerry can hack it, I think it depends on his running mate, and no I don't think he should choose Howard.
I was on holiday in the US when the 9/11 tragedy struck, and I watched Shrub's congressional speech in the aftermath, and thought he came over so well, I couldn't believe it was the same guy. If his draft dodging, and his love of capital punishment don't shift him, then perhaps the Iraqui problem will sink his boat, but I think he might prove to be the unsinkable George Bush, unfortunately.
