Is enthusiasm really necessary?
By now, anyone with two neurons to rub together has figured out that I could care less who was running against the current occupant of the whitehouse, I will vote for him. But I can't get excited about it. Eight years of John Kerry is going to be bleak, but that beats catastrophic any day. In any case, I have run across a couple of websites that show pretty clearly that A) I am not alone in this predicament and B) you don't have to think much of Kerry to think more of him than Bush.
And with that, let me refer you to:
<a href="http://www.johnkerryisadouchebagbutimvotingforhimanyway.com">johnkerryisadouchebagbutimvotingforhimanyway.com</a>
This is actually a fairly well thought out set of essays, written in such a way that your average college freshman football scholarship/making strange noises with your armpit major could understand and appreciate it. It also has the distinction of being the longest url I have ever seen.
Now, JKIADBBIVFHA.com doesn't really say that John Kerry is a douchebag. (He actually says just that, but goes on to prove that either he isn't, or it really doesn't matter that he is.) However, <a href="http://www.kerryhatersforkerry.com/">Kerry Haters For Kerry</a> make no bones about how little they like the man. They just like the alternative less. And they have some brilliant bumper stickers:

Maybe this belongs in nonsense, maybe not. Let me suggest that a worthwhile line of discussion is whether having people express this kind of backhanded, lukewarm support is a good or a bad thing for Kerry. (For me, I would have preferred a Dean/Edwards or Dean/Clarke ticket.)
