Reply #4: I tend to agree that, at least if the election were held now

it would be a referendum on Bush. People are not happy with him. There are, however some recent numbers available that show not all of the candidates would come out a winner in a head to head match up against Bush.

But I do take issue with your last statement. There seems to be a presumption among supporters of your candidate that if one supports Kerry it's only because he's "electable" as opposed to being the candidate they really want to see in the White House. That's an erroneous and arrogant assumption.

Perhaps it has not occurred to you that some people here, and obviously a good portion of the voting public, would really like to see Kerry in the White House, and Dean is really, really, truly, not their choice.
