Is John Kerry Good Bad or Both?
I myself would argue Both. Does John Kerry represent many of my views? yes. Is he the ideal presidential candidate for me? No, not necessarily. Does this make him bad, not really in a way, but as far as the election goes I argue both. If John Kerry weren't flawed in some way, there would be no question as to who would win this Election. Same goes for George Bush, as far as flaws go. But exactly where on your lists does he fall? Maybe even a number...on a scale of 1-10, I'm gonna give him 7.5 Fair enough.

I'm not sure that I'd give him even a 7.5. However, for reasons posted elsewhere (
here), I would score our beloved incumbent significantly lower. John Kerry, to me, is not nearly liberal enough. However, my views do not tend to represent a significant proportion of this country, I have found, as they are too liberal for many. Many would argue that this election will be for the better of two evils, and I am inclined to agree. Do I think that John Kerry is not a good leader? No. I just have concerns.
On that note, Kerry would get my vote, and I'd probably give him a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Not bad, but he hasn't really impressed me yet. But, if the link to my previous post didn't tell you, Kerry would not have been my pick - in fact, Dean or Kucinich would probably have been more along the lines I would have liked to see.
