I think its ironic that people are "voting against Bush" and not "voting for Kerry"... Kerry have not been able sell himself as visionary leader, and I think that says alot of the years ahead, if he should win the election.
I´m not a Bush supporter, however the irony that the US voters will treat the current "problem" with replacing one "visionless" leader with another "visionless" leader - that just screams for a sequel "down with the president" election in 2008 ;-)

I think that voting against one person or another is nothing new, I asked my father in law when the last time he voted FOR someone for president - his answer was JFK
As far as the "sequel" goes - that is exacty what our system is designed for.
What we really need is something to force real change - get another party or two in there.
Unfortunately as long as the Demicans and Republicrats (not sure who here coined that but I am using) control the rules for who is eligible to run, the 2 party system is here to stay.
Oh how I would love to see a true libertarian get elected.
