It's interesting (if a little depressing) that one of the good qualities mentioned by the endorsement is that he's not Bush. That, and some of his ideas will simply be stopped by a Republican Congress.
Glad they nailed Bush at his true weakness - foreign policy.
It is always disappointing to see featured in an influential periodical an editorial so completely out of touch with reality, but at least the rats are leaving the sinking ship. Barring a critical mass of voter fraud or voter turnout misfortune, we should be able put a temporary stop to the insanity in Washington. Alas, throwing these bastards out in no way guarantees or even initiates the repair and restoration of a functioning and healthy democracy in our country. It may be no more than the last gasp before plutocratic totalitarianism becomes inevitable.
The anti-Bush-therefore-pro-Kerry endorsement is unsurprising, considering that Kerry voted for the war in Iraq (albeit not the war as Bush as pursued it) and the Economist's repeated distress signals regarding the Bush Administration's treatment of detainees/ prisoners.
