I finally decided who was going to get my vote.
And it wasn't Iraq, candidate creditability, abortion, and any of the issues that everyone has been talking about. Not even terrorists--directly. Nor was it any commercial, or anything heard on any talk show. It wasn't the kids, nor the wives, nor the vehicles the candidates drive, nor the snowboards they play on. Not even the way they talk (though I'd rather listen to Kerry than Bush), nor the catsup I use.
I heard a story the other night about some judge rulling that the security cops at the Dem convention didn't have the right to search handbags unless they had a specific alert. And I heard myself say, "damn liberal judges have runied this country."
That did it. It really doesn't even matter if the story is true. I'm gonna have to vote for the guy less likely to appoint liberal judges.
(Admittedly, this puts me at odds with some of my positions--but every candidate did that.)
