Well, I think they have a right to run it.  But it will make me less apt 
to support Sinclair in the future since I also opposed the war in those 
days and dislike the Bush policy in the one these days.

And while I'm voting for Kerry this time I also voted for both Bushes. 
For that matter I'm politically fickle and believe I have supported the 
winning side in ALL presidential elections since the late 60's (yes I 
voted for Nixon for some reason ;-) ).

But that possibly makes me something of a bellwether which is maybe not 
   a good sign for GWB this election.  Or maybe my winning streak will 
finally end.

- Tom
