5. Perhaps, but . . .
it is easier for me to learn about maps than it is for Candidate Kerry to disentangle himself from wealthy, corporate donors.

Candidate Kerry is clearly less suceptible to corrupting corporate influence than is the Bush administration, but he simply not compete with *me* because I am not beholden to any donors. For this reason: (1) I am more likely to enforce antitrust law; (2) I am more likely to raise taxes on the rich (eg, capital gains rate, business tax rate); and (3) I am more likely to get the U.S. out of Iraq.

Now, all of this may tempt you to put me in as a write-in candidate, but I would advise you to vote for Candidate Kerry instead because he is so much more likely to win than I am. However, that is not the same thing as being a better President than me.

I hope you are putting the skills and talents you believe you have to use in some type of public service. The world needs you. Start small maybe, school board, county commissioner, town council - something.

9. Well, I'm a better public speaker than him.
But beyond that, Kerry has me beaten, so I voted for Kerry. :)

14. I'm the only one I agree with 100% on all issues, but Kerry's connections
make him more effective, so I vote Kerry.
