I think as a bystander over here in Australia the real winner will be your
system. We have mandatory voting here and it is good to see that the push
to get Bush pushed out has bought interest back in voting. I hope all of
you do it. It is funny how many yanks we meet that complain about their
politcians that dont vote. Your system has proved that a handfull of votes
can make the difference. If more people would of voted you wouldnt have a
under educated clown for a president

It is funny we are in oz are told from childhood that people fought and die
to protect our the vote. In your country women and black people fought hard
and long to able to vote also. You would think people would want to.

Any informed person with a brain and a heart should vote for Kerry, or at
least against Bush.
John Kerry has a Plan to Give Tax Breaks to Corporations who Keep their
Companies in the U.S. Kerry is a thinking man, that knows that most
political issues are complicated (nuanced). Also he realizes that rich can
live without tax cuts, but the rest of us might actually need it. And
health care should be a right not a luxury.
And here is an article that says that he will most likely win:

And here is quiz that might show that even though you might wanna vote for
Bush,
on the issues you might be actually for Kerry:

| I agree with what your saying and everything however kerry is not the first
politician to have these views on these particular issues...Its not what
you say or promise to do its what you actually do...Its all been said
before.I dont see anything new here.Kerry is the lesser of the two
evils...or unevils depending on your point of view. ____________________
