If I didn't know it before, I realize now that my political views are pretty closely aligned with Liquor Dealer's. I too have been a little irritated with Bush, but would still vote for him, as of now, as the lesser of several evils. I disagree with some of his foriegn policy, the prescription drug benefit plan, and don't like the fact that he and those around him believe in a market solution to everything but tort reform. However, I think he would do a better job of leading the country, leave the country in better shape than any other candidate, would appoint better judges (if they could ever get confirmed) and I trust him to handle some unforseen crisis better than the others.
In defense of Gephardt, he's the minority leader, and as such, I bet he and his staff are doing a hell of a job representing his district, even if he's not there for many votes, which don't really matter. I used to work for the U.S. House, and although that voting record is really low, or it would have been when I was there, I don't think that is a valid criticism of the job he's doing or whether he's earning his pay.
I wish I knew more about Edwards. As a successful trial lawyer for 20 years, he has a head start in my book, but I don't know much about his positions.
