Hundreds of Californians have quit their jobs, or taken sabaticals, so that they might go to Arizona or Nevada. These are 2 states that according to the polls could vote for either Kerry or Bush. There is no possible way that Bush can win California. So it is deemed more important by many to do whatever they can to return America to the people.

They hear a few words that they want to hear, and that is enough to make their minds up for them. As I stated before, the article in today's newspaper talked about how the more educated a person is, the less likely they are to be for Bush. He has used the issue of "gay rights" to hammer in a wedge between the American people. So now there are many conservatives or folks from the religious right who refuse to listen to anything bad about Bush or good for Kerry.

And guess what, there's just as many people who think the left is completely wrong, which is why the country is split. Either way, it's our country and our issue to deal with.
