Toledo Blade Endorses John Kerry for President

Kerry for President


It was Ronald Reagan, on the eve of his election against Jimmy Carter in 1980, who asked if the American people were better off than they had been four years earlier. It was a powerful question, and on Election Day the nation delivered an emphatic answer: no.
Today, 24 years later, faced with the same query, Americans must consider that, by almost any measurement, the answer is the same.

They must also understand that this country's best chance to embrace better times is with the election of John Kerry as the 44th President of the United States.

This is not an election about John Kerry's service in Vietnam. It is not about George W. Bush's record with the Air National Guard. It is not about who did what in the service of his country more than a generation ago.

At its core this election is about unhappy times in America. Our country is a sadder place than it was on Inauguration Day, 2001, and we attribute it directly to the incompetence of the President.
