I can't help but like our president. He's the kind of man you could expect to find in my garage on poker nights or having a bull session around the bonfire. Thats why i like him but it still isnt reason to vote for him.

I will vote for Bush based allmost entirely on a couple of issues. First is the fact that he has recognized the greatest threat that mankind has ever known and chosen to confront it head on rather that ignore it hoping it goes away. the second is the fact that he seems to know that I pay too much in taxes.

I disagree with Peggy in only one instance. Character doesn't trump everything. GHW Bush asserted that it did in his campaign against Clinton and it didn't trump a weak economy.

Nothing trumps everything. The people add things together, subtract some things, and then change their minds about what is important at any one time. That's why April is real early in a campaign.
