I completely agree with Halx on this issue.
In the past, I have completely agreed with Cynthetiq's reasoning - but this election is quite different.
This election is not between Bush and Kerry - it is between Bush and Not Bush. Kerry and Bush are essentially the same (and in that regard they are very much different than most people in this country).
But the most important difference between the two is their symbolism connected to the vast differences in the beliefs of the people that support each of them. The most ardent Bush supporter is nothing like the most ardent Kerry supporter. The most ardent Bush supporter believes we are doing the right thing - the most ardent Kerry supporter believes we are doing the wrong thing.
That is the key element of this election. It is not a Bush or Kerry election, it is a Bush or not-Bush election. If Bush wins, America stands up for the last 4 years. If Kerry wins, America does not stand up for the last 4 years.
Any other choice, in this election, is useless.
