i.e. Seems the biggest reason to vote for Kerry is to get Bush out of office. This is an example of party trumping person.

Let me explain, as it appears I am being misunderstood.
Voting along party lines is only an example of "Party Trumps Person", not the entire idea. My example refers to the idea that people are voting Democrat, not really voting for Kerry. I get the impression that who the Democrat candidate is doesn't matter. The person, in this instance, is going to vote the party over the person.
For example: Let's say by some weird turn of events, Kerry doesn't get the DNC nod and it goes to someone else. That occurrence doesn't sway the person in any way because the were going to vote for a Democrat regardless.
Does that make more sense, maybe I didn't explain myself well?
And roachboy, I didn't plan on discussin g supply-side economics, it is way off topic.
