I'm uneasy about John Kerry.
Yeah, he's a Viet Nam vet. Yeah, he got dinged good enough to get a Purple Heart or three.
But...Citizen Smash has a bit on Kerry that sums up how I view the man.
(Clipped from Citizen Smash - The Indepundit)
Kerry’s Vietnam experience apparently made quite an impression upon him. He ran for Senate in 1984 on an anti-military platform, urging the cancellation of various weapons programs that later proved to be critical to our national security. Kerry was so eager to spend the “peace dividend,” that he wasn’t even willing to wait until the Iron Curtain fell.
And he really hasn’t changed much since then. If you visit his campaign website, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any discussion of military policy. In fact, outside of pandering to veteran’s groups, and the transcript of a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, he hardly mentions the military at all. In such tumultuous times as these, we can’t afford to elect a leader with such a huge blind spot.

Smash was explaining why his vote in the primary went to Edwards, who now, of course, is out of the race.
That leaves Bush, Kerry, and Nader.
Oh, whoop.
