Comedian and host of the Daily Show, Jon Stewart, has decided John Kerry is his man in this election.

I have great respect for Jon Stewart, in an interview with Bill Moyers last fall, he impressed me greatly with his knowledge and understanding of the world. He has a cynical approach to the process that I find refreshing in mainstream media. Sadly, I don’t think his announcement of his vote will probably do very little to persuade that great segment of our population that can’t make up their mind. For God Sakes! The future of the free world depends upon a bunch of people that live in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania that are notorious for not being able to make up their minds!
