Why I Voted For John Kerry

John Kerry was on "Face The Nation" this weekend and his interview reinforced all the reasons I chose to vote for him last year. A smart leader, a strong leader, who understands both the reality and importance of what we face. He's got a real handle on this war and how to end it soon, keeping in mind the interests of the Iraqis and our soldiers. Sen. Kerry not only answers all the questions asked, but does so in a straightforward manner. Scott McClellan, et al, take notes.

I give him all due criticism for running a horribly mismanaged campaign (mistakes he openly acknowledges in the interview), but he is a great Senator and would've made a great Commander-in-Chief for our nation and our troops. Alas, Diebold fate had other plans.

Also, a podcast of the interview is available on iTunes.

[PS- If you need a chuckle, watch Mr. Pilonidal Cyst try to spin it, saying Kerry called U.S. troops terrorists- He also praises Joe Lieberman, which should tell you all you need to know about that. I'm sure Rush will be traveling to Iraq soon to see his precious war up close.
