Disenchanted Bu$h voters consider corssing over
"BEACHWOOD, Ohio — In the 2000 presidential election, Bill Flanagan a semiretired newspaper worker, happily voted for George W. Bush. But now, shaking his head, he vows, "Never again."

"The combination of lies and boys coming home in body bags is just too awful," Mr. Flanagan said, drinking coffee and reading newspapers at the local mall. "I could vote for Kerry. I could vote for any Democrat unless he's a real dummy."

Mr. Flanagan is hardly alone, even though polls show that the overwhelming majority of Republicans who supported Mr. Bush in 2000 will do so again in November. In dozens of random interviews around the country, independents and Republicans who said they voted for Mr. Bush in 2000 say they intend to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate this year. Some polls are beginning to bolster the idea of those kind of stirrings among Republicans and independents."

1. I just came from the Edwards rally in Youngstown Ohio
and there were some republicans.I know of at least 8.Granted there
were hundreds at the rally but hey every little bit helps.
I really do not think die hard republicans are going to vote
dem in GE.However I do think a more realistic thinking would be
they are disenchanted with * that they will stay home and not vote.
