I forget if i already posted or not, but I vote Kerry.
I don't mind Bush too much, except that 4 years later he decides to start drilling in washington state again (we have oil reserves up there nobody remembered about). I actually am only gonna vote for Kerry because his vice-prez is from North Carolina, a state that was literally built up from USAirways. Without that state putting all of their money and effort into USAir, it wouldn't have been such a great airline. And now, because of my F-inhell county (Alleghney....Pittsburgh) US airways is goin under. Alleghney county wants usairways to pay them 400 million dollars in unpaid land taxes (it couldn't cause its f-in bankrupt). Now my dad and 40000 people around the country lose usairways (all that they will have left is little commuter planes and east coast only). First things to go are the cleaning crew and the parts movers. The planes will no longer be cleaned inside, outside, and internally (like engine) on a regular basis(will be more like 3 times a year - just read the letter they sent to my dad). The parts movers, or stock clerks, are responsible for having extra parts for airplanes and delivering them as fast as possible to wherever they're needed (even other airports). With the cut of these, maitenance on aircrafts will jump from 30mins to 4 hours (also in letter).
Kerry hasn't said anything yet about helping out with usairways, but without it, my entire county will 'hit the fan'. many of the companies that started the area are leaving (k-mart, Bayer, Walmart, Ladbrokes[horse racing complex], and almost every pharmasutical company (which is big due to Pittsburgh having some of the leading hospitals in the nation for new proedures)
This bites
