51. As a Dean supporter this is my philosophy about Kerry...
"Politics is not the art of the possible; it most often is a choice between disaster (Bush) and the unpalatable (Kerry)." (quote by James Kenneth Galbraith)

I'm voting for Kerry but not donating my time or money to his campaign. And when people ask me who I'm voting for for Prez, I explain my Kerry vote in the context of Galbraith's quote. I don't like Kerry but Bush is leading this nation into the black hole of catastrophe.

Instead of donating time and money to Kerry, I'm donating time and money to my local Dem Congressional candidate. If your husband can't support Kerry, that's OK. Even Dean recognizes that many of his supporters can't stand Kerry, so Dean says to find a Democrat, especially one in a swing state or in a competitve seat, who needs time and/or money. If he doesn't know of one, he can choose one from the Dean Dozens lists.

Of course, your husband could also run for local office.
