Do you consider yourself a Kerryite or an ABBer?

1. I'm still an ABB, but I'd be proud to have Kerry as my President

I think he'll do fine. But I would still vote for a monkey (trained or otherwise) before I'd vote for Bush, and if you threw a couple more candidates on the ballot, I might have to vote for one of them (assuming perfect world run-offs, etc.)... preferably someone who didn't go out killing ducks.

3. Kerry

Always for almost 2years now have been for Kerry

[elperromagico]

15. You've been through the fire with JK,

all those times when his candidacy was regarded as doomed, when it didn't seem like he stood a chance. I respect your dedication to this good man. :yourock:

[Greyskye]

2. Voted other...

I started out ABB, but am now a strong Kerryite. :headbang:

[Paradise]

14. That's where I'm at! n/t

[ProgressiveFool]

20. same here

The debates really changed my mind, and made me see Kerry as an excellent candidate in his own right. I'd had flashes of this earlier, just a phrase or two that made me like him, but the debates showed the whole package.

[NDFan]

4. A total

Kerry fan! :D

I believe he's the best man for our party, and the best presidential candidate this country has seen since another JFK from Boston ran 44 years ago. ;)

[liberal N proud]

5. I was using the Primary to decide

I liked Edwards and I like a little about Deans charisma. But I also liked what I saw from Kerry as well.
Any one of those three would have worked for me.
I think the reason Dean was squashed was because they new they did not stand a chance with him.
When Kerry put Edwards on the ticket it was perfect.

[DaveSZ]

8. started out for Clark and then became strong for Kerry

[RadiDem]

6. I'm proud to be a 100% Deaniac voting for Kerry

[rndmprsn]

7. Started off ABB but became Very Kerry!

[ramapo]

40. Me too

n/t

[Doctor_J]

9. i am both

liked all of our candidates exceot lieberman and sharpton, but would've voted for them too.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. Reformed ABB-er

I'm a vegetarian for 7 years now and I don't care how many ducks Kerry kills since he eats them anyway.

[crispini]

36. Bwahahahaha!

That's too funny. :thumbsup:

[Mojambo]

11. I respect Kerry a great deal

But I would still have to classify myself as an ABBer.

[tedoll78]

12. I was an ABBer to begin with..

but Kerry has really gotten to me. Now I can say that I get the "warm fuzzies" at certain moments. When a dog is giving him kisses after a hunt, or when he cracks a great joke on the pitcher's mound..

So yeah.. I like him much more now.

[terrya]

13. A Kerryite. I think he will be a very good President.

[keopeli]

16. I chose to support Kerry from the day he entered the campaign

[sendero]

17. I started out ABB...

... but I find Kerry to be an impressive man. He will be a damn good president.

[idiosyncratic]

18. John Kerry already got my vote!!

:7

[trof]

19. Both?

I have been ABB since 2000.
I would have supported whoever the Dem nominee was.
I'm glad to support Kerry.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

21. I used to be ABB

then I was a Deaniac, then I was kinda ABB again (after the first primaries) but since about March, I've been a hard-core Kerryite and only getting more so as time goes on. The guy just rocks.

[Jack from Charlotte]

29. Same here. I was ABBer but the more I see Kerry the more

capable I'm convinced he is. The 1st debate was the clincher.

[MrSlayer]

22. ABB at first but Kerry has really been impressive.

I'm voting for him and not against Chimp. The guy has really won me over, he's highly intelligent, articulate, thoughtful and deep. He'll be a good President.

[Zero Gravitas]

23. Started out as ABB

But am a Kerryite since the debates.

[ClassWarrior]

27. "Going Upriver" flipped me.

24.

[bigwillq]

24. A Kerryite since the DEM convention

Kerry locked it up me during his speech.

Before that, ABB.

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. Still ABB. Am happy Kerry has gotten some fire in him but I am still

not hearing the policies from him that I would like to. He's so far away on the spectrum from me on most things.



Yet, I harbor a tiny hope that he is running to the middle but will govern from the left. So we shall see whether or not I am a Kerryit in '08. ;)

[elperromagico]

26. Depends on what kind of Congress he gets.

Unless he intends to govern by executive order, he needs enough Dems and moderate Republicans to push through a liberal agenda. If he's stuck with a Republican Congress, I don't see how he can successfully govern from the left.

[GreenPartyVoter]

31. He has a shot at a blue Hill. I think most folks voting for him will

also vote for Dem Sens and Reps.

[Xipe Totec]

28. ABBER because...

even if Kerry was not the Democratic candidate, I would still vote the Democratic ticket.

Having said that, I really like Kerry. He will make a fine President.



:dem:

30. Why can't you be both?

I love the Red Sox, and hate the Yankees just as much.

Why can't I love Kerry, and hate Bush just as much?

[Awsi Dooger]

32. AFD

Always For Democrats

Straight down the ballot. These damn non-partisan races piss me off because I actually have to evaluate instead of looking for the D.

At the presidential level I handicap electability and it seemed clear our best bet was Edwards, particularly vs. an incumbent who is considered likeable. But I've been 100% Kerry since his nomination was inevitable.

Bush has literally altered my life. My family members, friends and girls I've dated all say I'm obsessed with despising him and getting him out of office. I know I'm not joking around or having as much fun or peace of mind as during the Clinton years. So yeah, there's runaway ABB.

[Raiden]

33. I used to be a staunch Deaniac (still am in fact)

I hated John Kerry during the primaries, but after it became clear that Howard Dean would lose, I started to support John Edwards. After John Kerry became the de facto winner of the primaries, I was somewhat bitter. But later, he won me over by picking John Edwards. So, this former ABBer is now a firm Kerryite.

[soggy]

34. if it were an election featuring kerry and, say, a non-sold-out

mccain, then i might still be undecided at this point. as it is, on a scale of 1 to 10, as a candidate i'd give kerry about a 7. and i'd give shrub a -93.

kerry = solid, * = enormous flaming disaster

[JSG]

35. Kerryite, no question

I'm from Massachusetts. I am proud to call Kerry my Senator. I will be honored to call him my President.

[southernlad]

37. ABB then KERRY

[FrankenforMN]

38. ABB

I'm still bitter about what happened to Howard Dean in the primaries. Deep down I know that he would have CRUSHED Bush with a true anti-war in Iraq message, and we would not have heard all this flip-flop garbage. I know republicans feared Dean, but maybe they are underestimating Kerry?

[Yuugal]

39. mailbox?

If the election was between my mailbox and Bush for pres I'd have to go with my trusty mailbox. Sure, it wouldn't say or do much but after Bush I can see how that would be an improvement. I guess that makes me ABB.

[NNadir]

41. ABB was for before the nomination.

I was a Deaner, but John Kerry has won me over. I am excited about having Mr. Kerry in the White House!

[AP]

42. Kerryite. Booyakasha!

Respect.

[sontec]

43. Kerry's a good man.

He went to war and was lucky enough to survive and voice his opinion. I hope that thirty years from now an Iraqi vet isn't being muddied by the same party. Kerry is the right man for this time and predicament.

[Laelth]

44. Truth be told ...

before the 1st debate I was an ABBer who thought it was a good idea to nominate the guy who served in Vietnam--best chance to win in a time of war.

After the 1st debate, I became a die-hard Kerryite. He deserves to be President!


John Kerry --> :yourock:
