"Why You Pick Him If You Don't Like Him?"

Based on an actual conversation:

Passenger: "Fleet Center, please."

Boston cab driver (an immigrant): "You like John Kerry, eh?"

Passenger: "Well, I'm a Democrat but I don't really like Kerry that much."

Cab driver: "I hear that all day. All day. 'I don't like Kerry.' Why you pick him if you don't like him?"

“Unity,” my ass. This lack of enthusiasm is going to matter before it’s over, mark my words.
