One of the only times I have not voted for a Democrat was when Robert Torricelli was running for US Senator in NJ in 1996. No, I did not vote for the Republican I voted for an independent. (A high school teacher running as a project for his class. Kind of a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington fantasy.)
I knew that Torricelli was the worst type of politician. I was glad to see him forced out in 2002. Well, my reservations about Kerry are solidified by the fact that he has Torricelli as one of his top people. Torricelli was one of the forces behind the smear campaign against Dean.
I am ABB and will vote for Kerry if he is the Democratic nominee. But with people like Torricelli at his side I have a strong feeling that Bush II will get elected (not appointed) in November.
Keep your eyes on the prize.
