GOPers/conservatives....convince me NOT to vote for Bob Kerrey

[後援会]

He wasn't a very good Senator. Even if he is a nice guy. And considering Obama's probably going to win, it'd be a good idea to give him more checks/balances. Since we remember what happened in the two years when he didn't have any.

And considering that large swaths of America (including Kerrey's now-native New York) considers your entire state "the middle of nowhere", voting against someone because they come from the "middle of nowhere" seems like it sets a bad precedent.

That is important to me, certainly more important than his position on abortion or affirmative action.  He seems like a man of integrity, and that's even more important.

Well, if you're voting solely on integrity, wouldn't you have to presuppose his opponent has none? And I haven't seen any evidence of that.

He's not a far-left Bernie Sanders type, but he doesn't hold any views outside of the typical norm of his party. And he /is/ from NYC now, so he probably hasn't interacted with anyone but Democrats. So meh, you'll be getting a pretty generic Democrat.

Obamacare.

Doesn't really seem like a great reason to vote against someone. Plus, ten people, or even a hundred, per square mile still sounds like middle of nowhere to me. Plus, if you're voting simply on where people are from, Kerrey is from NYC...

On the "war criminal" record, Bob Kerrey has a very interesting war history and one of his war citations is interesting because he doesn't actually want it.

I personally wouldn't hold it that against him (he shows remorse and all), but I still would suggest not voting for him due to all of the previous reasons. This country can't afford more Democrats.
