2. Portland (Maine) Press Herald endorses Kerry

"BETTER APPROACH ABROAD

In his initial debate with the president, Kerry closed the credibility gap opened up by his opponents on his approach to world affairs, and in particular to the war in Iraq.

Recognizing that the United States cannot unilaterally withdraw from Iraq, Kerry would boost the American troop presence there marginally and seek more support from allies.

It's not at all certain that America's allies, in particular European nations, would be willing to put troops on the ground in Iraq, but Kerry would be right to seek such cooperation. In any event, his election would provide the potential for a fresh start with world leaders unhappy with current U.S. policy on Iraq."

--

"Kerry has better approaches to other pressing issues, including health care, education, energy and environmental policy.

Kerry's solid health care plan includes government help with paying for the most costly medical cases, expansion of proven programs covering low- and moderate-income people and giving the uninsured access to the health care plans used by federal employees."

--

" Like his opponent, John Kerry has the skills and the experience to be commander in chief. He also has an agenda that would serve Americans better than that of his opponent. For that reason, he merits our endorsement for president."
