What they’re saying at the polls

Mick Boxer, 45, a video producer and Renee Daniel, 38, a private tutor, both from Virginia Highlannd, cast Democratic ballots.
Both said they “angry” about the Bush performance, though Boxer preferred to call himself “extremely dissastified…..Bush has been a disaster, but anger implies a loss of control. You can evaluate his performance dispassionately and still realize it’s been a disaster.”
Daniel sees opposition to the war in Iraq as the issue most on her mind in voting for president, though both said they support the troops in Iraq.
“Bush has polarized this country in how wealth is distributed,” Daniel said. “He is so blatantly iin the pocket of big business and the military industrial complex.”
Boxer and Daniel said they voted for Kerry.
“I initially liked Edwards,” said Daniel. But she felt the Democrats need to unite behind Kerry as the probable nominee and “a candidate who can beat Bush.”
