Trenton Times endorses Kerry!

I know, no surprise, and also no big deal, since Kerry's going to win NJ anyway. But it's my local paper, so it's nice.

Kerry for president

Sunday, October 24, 2004

An election involving an incumbent president is necessarily a referendum on his stewardship. That's certainly true this year, as President George W. Bush runs for a second term on the record of his first.

The record is unacceptable. The policies of the Bush administration have been bad for the nation, weakening national security in the name of strengthening it, and bad for ordinary Americans, who have seen the economy go sour and the environment endangered.

We believe Mr. Bush's opponent, Sen. John F. Kerry, would be better equipped by temperament, character and conviction to lead the United States out of the foreign and domestic predicaments in which it finds itself. The senator is a thoughtful man of proven courage, patriotism and ability to lead. We recommend his election.

When Mr. Bush campaigned in 2000, he pledged to be "a uniter, not a divider." Yet, since winning election by the narrowest Electoral College margin in modern times while losing the popular vote, he has presided over a public that is increasingly polarized and far too ready to demonize those holding opposing views. Much of the blame for the bitter political climate that has swept across America has to be laid at his doorstep.
