In La Crosse, Mayor John Medinger is a lifelong Democrat who cut his teeth on John Kennedy's campaign. He's backing Kerry but offers some reservations. "I think a lot of people wish Kerry would inspire them," he said. "A lot of people feel like 'I'm voting for Kerry, I wish I felt better about it.'"
Medlinger will vote because politics is his life. Others will not because careers, families, hobbies are their life, and when you feel that way, you just don't make the effort to get to the poles and wait in line to vote.
