John Kerry V. Bill Clinton
Who would you vote for?

Clinton has more charisma, but I like Kerry's ideas more.
I think I would have to vote for Kerry.

1. I love Clinton, but...
His pandering makes him such a target. Even though it didn't interfere with him running the country, that was his fatal flaw.

Kerry seems to not have such a fatal flaw so while he's less charismatic than Clinton, I think he will serve with fewer distractions. I hope Clinton becomes a large part of the Kerry administration. How cool would that be?

2. I love them both. Right now, its Kerry.
Less personal problems. Plus, I think Clinton has earned his retirement, and I believe Kerry, being a pragmatic man, is going to call him back to duty in another role -- I'm thinking UN to possibly begin rebuilding our credibility. :)

3. what a nice problem that would be!
I started out this election as a Dean supporter (although I gave money to Graham, too) and then moved to Edwards, so I came to Kerry late.

But, I have to say that I'm no longer voting ABB. I'm enthusiatically voting for Kerry. I'll always love Bill, but I'm looking forward to a "fresh start."

4. I didn't agree with many of Clinton's decisions, so maybe Kerry... but..
...Kerry isn't having answer questions on the same issues in 2004, so its hard to compare. Assuming that their positions on everything were identical, and assuming that the other candidates for president were not better choices, I would probably pick Clinton, because I think very highly of the man personally, even while disagreeing with his new democrat policy, and he is charismatic, and incredibly well-spoken and articulate and brilliant, while managing to come across as plain-spoken and almost, dare I say it, "folksy."

5. No matter who's running Clinton would always get my vote.
