Bush, with nose firmly crazy-glued shut. If my state is a foregone conclusion, however, I may opt for the Libertarian candidate instead. ---

Bush. Unless I was absolutely convinced that he was going to lose WV no matter what. Then it’d be Nader, just to piss Kerry off 🙂 ---

Kerry. If you had a poll on “Which candidate’s nose would you punch?” I’d say Nader. ---

As it stands now. Geez. Can I say “undecided?” Can I say John McCain or Colin Powell or Harold Ford or Sam Nunn or someone I actually look up to? No, huh? Bush, for the war on terror and only that, and pray he has short coattails. But I may yet go Libertarian. ---
