I didn’t expect the Sun-Times to endorse Kerry. But they did.

The president’s handling of the past year in Iraq — his dismissal of those who warned him about the difficulty of reorganizing the country, his neglect of deep problems that are costing American lives there — made us doubt his ability to bring our involvement there to a successful conclusion. And we became concerned by the secrecy of his subordinates such as Dick Cheney and John Ashcroft, coupled with an unnecessary disregard for some of our most cherished civil liberties.

  1. Aww, c’mon Archie! You know if the Trib endorsed Jesus, kittens and apple pie the Sun Times would be compelled to side with Satan, puppies and pickled kumquats. Have they ever endorsed the same candidate in the same race? 🙂

  2. Uh, yep. They both endorsed Bush in 2000.

    I’m pretty surprised by this, considering the sharp turn to the right the S-T made in ’97 or so…

  3. I’m pleasantly shocked by the Sun-Times endirsement, but Bush is proving to be a uniter for thinking people, whether progressive or conservative. Both camps agree that Bush must go.
