...
It is inescapable, however, that a presidential re-election contest is also a referendum on the incumbent.
...
Let’s not get mired in whether the president was deceitful or was himself misled on the matter of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. He was wrong.
....
In 2000, we lauded Bush for his ability as Texas governor to work in bipartisan fashion. We admired what seemed to be a tendency to make moderate judicial appointments. We’ve seen precious little of that in his first term as president.

This time around, there is just so much at stake.

There is an ever-evolving economy that must lift more boats, a health care crisis requiring bold solutions, Iran and North Korea posing global threats, an environment that needs more protection than has been given in this term and Supreme Court nominations that will touch just about every policy issue imaginable.

The president is a decent man, yes. On the whole, however, he has been so wrong about so much in such a short time that accountability must kick in at some point.

We’re at that point. John Kerry for president.

1. that's great!

last I heard they were thinking of not endorsing. I'm glad they went with Kerry. We were living in Wis in 2000 and were really upset when they went *.

I love the last 2 paragraphs above especially, "accountability must kick in at some point. We are at that point. John Kerry for president."
