And interesting, though half-hearted, endorsment
The Economist, a long-time conservative, Thatcher-Reaganite newspaper in England has endorsed John Kerry. It did so with reservations, saying the choice was "between two deeply-flawed men". But the reasons for NOT endosing Bush are very telling (and obvious to anyone paying attention).

``It was a difficult call, given that we endorsed George Bush in 2000 and supported the war in Iraq,'' Economist editor Bill Emmott, who wrote the editorial backing Kerry, said in a pre- publication e-mail. ``In the end we felt he has been too incompetent to deserve re-election.''

``America needs a president capable of admitting to mistakes, and of learning from them,'' Emmott wrote. ``Mr. Bush has steadfastly refused to admit to anything.''

Thanks to Hesiod for this story.

Hesiod also has a good post about those explosives that Bush let get away. Pictures of the explosives have now surfaced from a news crew that saw them with the US soldiers it was traveling with back on April 18, 2003. Unfortunately, I don't share Hesiod's optimism that this revelation will sink Bush for good...but it's a nice thought.
