The electorate made the mistake of choosing Bush and his folksy style over Gore and his intellectual
approach, by enough votes, that the FL manipulation of voting rolls by Jeb and Katharine Harris made it possible for the Supreme Court to get in the picture and throw the election to Bush.

I want people to start paying attention to the content, and not just style or appearance, of politicians.
Would I like to see a President other than white male? Hell, yes! But I'm not supporting
someone because of their looks or sex, I'm supporting someone because of their commitment to a political philosophy which matches my own. That said, Edwards has told me enough to know that I agree with him on a lot of issues. Obama hasn't told me enough (and I've read his books) about his core values and how that
translates to what he wants to get done.
