your reasons for ceasing to be a "fan" of Kerry, in favour of Clark, TC? What weaknesses has your 33 years of familiarity with him uncovered?

That is a long time, although however gifted a leader, favouring and remaining loyal to him is not in itself a guarantee of political astuteness. There may have been one or two issues he represented which were of particular relevance and/or appeal to you. And could even have been issues he was, in fact, less comptetent in.

I am not suggesting that that was the case, just that I am not persuaded by your history with Kerry's campaigns, that your move to Clark's fan base is necessarily thereby validated as a sound, prudent move.

In the end, of course, in any case, it's for you to pick your leaders, however bad a cold the rest of the world may catch. But we are bound to be almost as passionately anxious as you that you choose (obtain) the right one.
