My mom is running his campaign. I don't really know, he is not my first choice.

I really don't know and he's even from Southeastern Iowa. I do know that there are several people that don't like him. But I haven't really kept up on politics. How many people actually think that the Democratic party would have him as their canidate?

I wouldn't vote for him. I thought it was pretty rotten how Blue Bird (school bus factory) closed down in his hometown of Mt. Pleasant and he didn't so much as blink about it, while hundreds of people lost their jobs. And then the whole nod-and-smile-and-patpat about Electrolux cutting back, as well as other industrial places around the state. His human rights track record is pretty good, and the economy is doing pretty well other than factories shutting down left and right, but I just don't think he's got the ability to be a good president yet, and unless he can prove otherwise somehow between now and 2008, I won't be voting for him.
