13. I have been aware of Kerry since the 80's.
I respect alot of what he did.

His Vietnem service particularly rings true with me. I have a close family member who served, and came home to actively protest the war.

I respect the fact that John Kerry did this, even going so far as to toss a friends medals over the fence at the Whithouse.

What leads me to a slightly unfavorable view of him, at least in the context of this election, is that I see so much better in other candidates.

I will not go into what, or why, I believe this now, and do not want flames.

But I simply believe that a career politician is what we need right now.

I am looking for an outsider who has the experiance to get the job done. And a man that I can trust.

I will vote for the nominee, but in my opinion we have just what I am looking for.

And I think it is sad that this man has almost no chance.
