Bad news, Mike. That's how it works out nearly every time.

I only voted for Kerry because he wasn't Bush.
I'd have voted for whoever stood the best chance of beating Bush.

The best available candidate almost never wins, but the one with the largest war chest usually does.

Sorry to sound so jaded.
