1)Civil Unions will make him unpopular with people who wouldn't vote democratic if that is all they care for is civil unions. Also, he hasn't publicly stated that he is for gay marriage.

2)That is why Bob Graham makes him a great VP pick.

3)I believe you are incorrect. If you don't have a 3.0 GPA, 4-year tuitions is $32,000 at the biggest school in Vermont, University of Vermont. Which is pretty low because it costs about 48,000 to enroll at Arizona State University.

This link shows a trend of tuition costs skyrocketing in Texas(most during Bush's 6 years as Governor. So 3 will absolutely be no problem whatsoever.

4)His looks? You have to be kidding me? Perhaps you forgotten about the chimp who now occupys the White House.

5)I have no problem with his speaking ability but comparing Dean's speaking ability to Bush's slurring, Dean wins in a landslide.

6)Where is Bush's military experience? Where is Reagan's military experience? Where is CLinton's?(Before they became President) If you follow polls, 7% of the people who took the poll said Terrorism was their #1 concern. The Economy and Jobs were #1 and #2 so unless this economy kicks up and Bush puts a handle on to the situation in Iraq, he is toast in '04. The American people(not Freepers) know that starting a pre-emptive war on a third world country that had nothing to do with 9/11 will not make us less safer then more safer will not make someone appear "strong on national defense". Too many DUers act like the Democrat won't be able to present his case on why you should vote for him/her once elected as the nomination for President. He will be able to state his case on why he was against this war and he can state the case that Bush passed a 300+ billion tax cut but is underfunding Homeland Security.

Dean in '04.
