Howard Dean may want the Presidency, but it does not mean he deserves it. This is not to say that he is a bad person or anything like that sort, as he is not in my opinion. However not all of us in Vermont thought much of him as our Governor and his record is not as good as he tries to say it is either. There is of course a whole another side to what he trys to sell to the nation as his great achievements. And it not only Republicans, disenfranchised liberals or other groups that feel and think so either for that matter.

Some of us are just plain old citizens, who only ask people out there to recognise that there certainly are some tough questions that need to be asked, and then answered, of him and all of the other candidates.

The fact is that there are other Independent voters out there like myself who will not vote for either Howard Dean or George Bush if that is whom their respective Party’s nominate as their candidate for the 2004 Presidential race. Some of us will end up staying home, not a prospect some of us like, but it is not much of a choice.

Not all of us will just go lock step with Dean, solely because we are expected to by certain Democratics whom seem to think we have no other choice. It would be the Democrat’s fault, not ours, it is their Party and candidate, not ours.

Some of us will not just accept the lessor evil with the mindset of anything is better than Bush, because we can and must do better than that.

Speaking for myself anyway, this is the last remaining option I will have available to me, and if it comes down to it, the only one I will consider.
