I take it you haven't seen the debates or checked their plans on their web site. I don't blame you, I manage to watch news from European channels here and they don't dig deep enough at all on this event for people to be aware of the real big differences.
The differences are big enough to matter in about everything that's important when you're in the seat they're running for.
I voted for Kerry. I supported him before but imo the debates made it clear as can be that he can do a much better job than Bush. I particularly appreciated this statement answering how he handles criticism from Catholic archbishops for protecting the right for abortion :

And as President Kennedy said when he ran for president, he said, "I'm not running to be a Catholic president. I'm running to be a president who happens to be Catholic."
