Here's a nice political video which sums up the race rather well.

While I doubt SC will go for Kerry I think it will be a close to 50/50. In SC 2000 Bush got 57%, Gore got 41%, and Nader managed around 1%. Just from the people I work with and have spoken to I can easily see a 5% swing to Kerry. Anyway, I think it will be safe to say we'll have another election where Bush loses the nation's popular vote.

This elections lack of good candidates is appalling.
It is:
A) Texican with little charisma but plenty of experience.
B) "Intellectual" with no charisma whatsoever (Kerry's physical look alone is quite condemning to many people).

Remind me to throwup after this election.

Supposedly Bush didn't put Cheney in his new ad campaign, and it is rumored that he will drop Cheney from the ticket. The Democrats are quite scared about this.

Least we are not voting between canadates that are carbon copies of each other like last election. Well i should say we, i won't vote for anyone unless i like them. I havn't liked a politician in years.

Experience in what? I don't give incumbants extra consideration for "experience". That said, I like Bush better than Kerry for his policies and his willingness to stick with doing what he says (where is my Thesaurus).

You are insane. There is no way Bush will dump Cheney short of Cheney having another heart attack. Anyway, I am pretty sure the Democrats would welcome the show of instability. Unless Bush miraculously picks up McCain, in which case the Democrats have already lost.

Don't call me insane, call CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC insane, they said it. According to the news sources, the Democrats view Cheney as an albatross around Bush's neck (No clue why, the whole cursing thing being anti-"family values" or anti-soccer mom?).

Experience in what?

Experience in being the President of the United States. I think that job experience and what somebody did during that experience is always a factor. In Bush's experience, he stuck to his policies and seemed to do his best to follow through. In Kerry's experience, he was a strong advocate of helping the employment rate, then when an unemployment Bill shows up, dumbass doesn't show up that day to vote for it and it loses by 1 vote.

Remember the other day when you asked me the definition of irony.

The real choice in the election is either A)new shit B) old shit. If you like the shit we are smelling now, vote old shit. If you are nuts and want to see what new shit can have in store for you vote new shit.

The Kerry/Edwards ad people are doing a good job using Edwards as a spokesman. I like the TV spots they're putting out. And there is no away Cheny is going anywhere, I bet he's the most hands-on VP's in the last 100 years.

More like hand up the presidents ass.

Today the senate voted 50-48 against the gay marraige ban. McCain actually voted "no". Anyway, as you may have noticed, 2 people didn't vote. Can you guess who those two senators were?

Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts and Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. Way to take a stand guys and let the public know how you really feel about the issue.

Personally I don't care either way about a gay marraige ban, but I found one more reason to vote for Bush in the upcoming election.

Kab, in the recent Bush ad I saw. It said that John Kerry has the worst attendence, he has missed over 2/3 of the votes.

That's one way to keep your votes from being thrown back in your face. Anyway that was pretty much a given it would be shot down. I'm ready to just write in John McCain.
