On the bigger issue, I was surprised that Kerry, in the second debate, pledged not to raise taxes on those earning less than $200,000/year. It seems to me that the pledge really limits his freedom of action once elected. If he flip-flops on this, he'll take major, major political heat. So you should be celebrating. The attacks on him worked so well that he made this pledge. If you cared about low taxes more than electing Bush, you would be able to declare victory on this point and move on.

Agreed. Essentially he was conned into giving the same stupid "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge that came back to bite Bush I in the ass.
