That's a good point. I'm basically part of the Anyone-But-Bush camp and that's most likely going to be Kerry but that does pose a problem. If Bush is reelected, then we'll be done with him in 4 years and things can move on past him (unless he weasels some other crony from his and Cheney's sandbox into a favorable election position...). However if Kerry is elected, Bush still has a presidental term to have a go at and if things go as badly or worse than Bush managed, he'll come back in 2008 saying "See? You all elected Kerry and see what happened? Elect me again and I'll fix it!" I know it'll be all I can do to keep my blood pressure from going through the roof that year if that should happen.
