39. As someone who most likely will also see my candidate's concession speech
I am a Clark Supporter, but I was a Dean supporter first. I liked both, they were always #1 and #2 for me.

I am gearing myself up to back Kerry 100% right now. I will still vote for Clark in the California Primary, but I expect to see it a Bush v Kerry election

For me, we 100% absolutely HAVE to win this election. There will be a Supreme Court appointment, there is a war that needs to be stopped and there is an expansion doctrine that needs to be ended.

Say what you will about Kerry having PNAC ties, HE IS NOT BUSH. He will not push the PNAC agenda - I honestly beleive this.

This is a man who fervently protested Vietnam, and I truly beleive felt duped on the IWR. It may have been a political move, but I feel the man will end the war if elected.

Also, I keep saying this, but he is an insider. A lot of people owe him favors and I think he expects to cash in. Unlike Clinton, who was faught since day one by a Democratic Contress - Kerry has the connections to get his agenda pushed. That means GLBT rights. That means an end to perpetual war. That means rebuilding Social Security, and an end to the quest for privatization.

Will corporations benefit? Of course. You cannot get elected without corporate support. But like Clinton, he will write in enough support for the average Joe.
