So why did they vote for him?

Around here, the democrats are always the ones who vote along party
lines.  Despite the reputation (according to the news media anyway) of
being inflexible, it always seems to me it is the republicans that
primarily consider the individual instead of the party.

I also find nearly every alternative party voter I meet, except for
Nader's party, is a former republican.

...if that happened to be what people wanted to hear, yes.

In any case, it wasn't Clinton's position that caused the dislike, it
was other things.

Besides, if you don't like Clinton or Kerry's position on something,
just wait a few minutes, and it will change.
