[Sparkly]

This is a very nice endorsement

The Times, in endorsing Kerry, characterized President Bush's presidency as "disastrous" and accused him of "turning the government over to the radical right."

"We are impressed with Mr. Kerry's wide knowledge and clear thinking," the Times said Sundays editions. "He is blessedly willing to reevaluate decisions when conditions change."

Kerry "has qualities that could be the basis for a great chief executive, not just a modest improvement on the incumbent," the newspaper said. "He strikes us, above all, as a man with a strong moral core."

After "examining what the candidates have done in the past, their apparent priorities and their general character," the Times said "we enthusiastically endorse John Kerry for president."

Hit it with a "5!"

6. Glad they did it this week

I thought they might but you never know with this anxiety ridden election and the surprises that come almost every hour.

Good news...thanks...written well also

[PCIntern]

7. ...and they should apologize for creating

the Myth of Bush among people with three-digit I.Q.'s

[kentuck]

8. And yesterday it was the conservative Fresno Bee..

that endorsed Kerry. These are very valuable endorsements.

[Cha]

15. Wow! I'm loving it when a "conservative"

paper does it.

[Bush was AWOL]

10. Is that really surprising to anyone?

I thought it was obvious they'd endorse him.

[Cha]

16. NOt a "surprise" ..but really really nice

in these Orwellian Times.

[faithnotgreed]

11. Kerry "has qualities that could be the basis for a great chief executive

exactly how i feel. he is going to be incredible.

[Cha]

17. Yeah, the NYT hit

the nail on the head with that one.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Bears repeating!

"Kerry has the qualities that could be the basis for a great chief executive." I love it!

18. 1,677,003~ March 2004 n/t

[Princess Turandot]

13. Are these endorsements earlier than usual?..

I'm trying to recall what the usual time frame would be from one of the major dailies.

[Cha]

19. It seems like this is earlier than

for Gore but I could be Wrong after four years.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

20. Love it or hate it, the NY Times is

still looked at as the paper of record for the U.S. abroad and even nationally...

I remember watching this interview with Bush* the elder who said the NYT was too "left-leaning" but he still read it because of the international reporting.

[MasonJar]

22. I have been a Kerry supporter from the beginning, but I would

have happily supported any of our fine candidates. However, the more I learn about Kerry the more I feel in my whole being that he will be one of the great presidents. This was totally solidified for me a couple of weeks ago when I went to see Going Upriver. This is a man of supreme integrity; it is the way he was raised. Go see that documentary if you get a chance. Please, Fate, do not deprive us of this fine man who has lived his whole life for this moment when he is so deperately needed.

[senseandsensibility]

23. Amen!

Just had to say that. I feel the same, and I haven't even seen Up River.
