What makes kerry better than Bush?
the odds that he'll do a good job may be 1 in 99% (not sure exactly what that means mathematically but it's your quote. is it 99% chance he'll do good, a 1% chance, or are the odds 99 to 1)
whatever that comes to I could except it, well worth the risk. even if the odds are 100 to 1 that he'd be a good president, the odds that he'd be better than Bush are just about a sure thing.
even if he sets out to completely screw the country, at least we get a bit of a break while he learns how to do it most effectively. on the other hand Bush has 4 years of experience at screwing us and many plans that are already in the works. at least Kerry (if he where to be as bad as you seem to think) would have to start from scratch.
I really can't argue with your first sentence though. Bush has surely proved you right there.
