I guess all I’m saying is “I don’t think I’ll ever like this person, but I’ll end up voting for him/her” is a completely reasonable and sensible position to take, and it’s totally understandable that a person might prefer to vote for a person who is equally qualified but more personally agreeable.
I mean, to be quite honest with everybody, I have never particularly liked John Kerry. I still pulled the lever for him in ‘04 so hard it about broke off.
