Incumbent President George W. Bush and his Democratic challenger, U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry, each wants to make America a safer place to live and raise a family; to create jobs for millions of unemployed Americans, and to invest in the hopes and dreams of the next generation.


Each received prep school and Ivy League educations. Each served the nation, one in the National Guard and one in Vietnam. Each chose public service in government, one after several years in business and the other after a brief stint as a prosecutor.


The similarities end there, for the most part.

-snip-

Kerry has served the commonwealth with distinction for many years, and he is a native son. That still counts for a lot in our book.


We endorse John F. Kerry for president.

1. I lived in Springfield for 16 years

A dying city made a decent comeback, and is now back in deep do-do. In receivership, after it counted on the economic boom to continue...spent fortunes on riverfront development, a new convention center still in the works...the new Basketball Hall of Fame is amazing. And now the city is in the toilet again. And lest anyone say "What the hell is Springfield, Mass?" it is the second largest city in Massachusetts (Boston is first, obviously).

Obviously, they need Kerry in WH in a big way!
