WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The New York Times, one of America's most influential newspapers, on Sunday endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry as a potentially "great chief executive."
"We believe that with John Kerry as president, the nation will do better," the New York Times said its an editorial.
The New York Times is one of-- if not the most-- influential newspapers in the US. I just hope that Americans have the good sense to consider the points the daily cites in its endorsement.
Most polls have Bush and Kerry going neck-to-neck. In situtations like these, the incumbent usually has the edge. Most undecideds-- when pressed to choose-- favor the status quo. Bush's campaign-- at least, where Iraq and fighting terrorism is concerned-- basically goes "why change horses in the middle of the race." In the middle of a crisis brought about by, ironically, Bush's own shoddy decision-making, the conventional wisdom is to stick with someone who knows the ropes.
The NY Times editorial, I hope, will at least make voters take a closer look at the Bush presidency, and make them vote accordingly.
