Sorry, about the length

I still believe Dean is electable. I guess because I am really involved in the campaign, I have a little more faith. Remember, Clinton did not out and out secure the nomination until June.

Regarding the Kerry bandwagon. People are joining the Kerry bandwagon because he is the "frontrunner". He's not electable. If he makes it to the general election against Bush, he will be eaten alive. How can he offer himself as an alternative to Bush when he voted for the war, No Child Left Behind, the new healthcare bill, etc? Bush will call him out quick, fast, and in a hurry.

As for voting and the issue of religion vs. race. I don't know about that. I am a Christian. However, I do not believe in legislating morality. I am pro-choice on paper. However, that's a personal choice. I believe abortion is wrong for ME. I cannot tell a woman what to do with her body. As a woman, I cannot do that. Is it important that your president is a Christian? I would like for him/her to be. However, the Lord is my head, not the president. As for Bush representing the interests of Christians, I do not agree. He's a Christian in name. Yes, he opposes gay marriages and abortion. However, where is his compassion! How can you consider yourself a Christian and support and forward an agenda that is divisive and devoid of basic human compassion?
