So what I want to know now is, if nobody can step up to the plate
and defend Bush, who exactly are all these people who answer polls

that all those polls are being conducted on electronic voting
machines with no paper record.

Well, since you used me as example last week, I suppose I should
confirm that yes, I'm still planning to vote for Bush.  However, I'm
not going to defend my choice here.

Don, thanks for responding!  As I mentioned before, I really didn't intend to
single you out.  I have found that very few Bush supporters are willing to
discuss their reasons for supporting the man, though most are quite willing to
attack John Kerry.

Others far more articulate than
I are doing a much better job of that elsewhere, if you look in
the right places.

I haven't found those places, yet, so I would appreciate any links you'd care to
share.

Chris, if you want more insight into my decision, we could possibly
discuss it in person at some nelug event before the election.

I would enjoy that very much.  (And I promise not to bite!)  Between the new
baby here and starting a new job recently, my free time has been very limited of
late, so my NELUG participation has suffered the past few months.  But I hope to
get to a meeting one of these days.

- Chris.
