Conservative writer Andrew Sullivan has become one of my favorite daily reads. I disagree with him on many issues, but he never seems to be towing the party line. Maybe that’s just because he finds himself in a gray area that extends over the right and left: internationally hawkish and fiscally conservative yet socially liberal.
Sullivan has been writing for weeks about how disappointed he is in President Bush, a man he endorsed in 2000 and still believes has done many positive things. He also has written that he was having a terrible time pulling the trigger and deciding that he could vote for Kerry no matter how much the current administration frustrated him. Well, he finally made his choice, and on his blog he provides a link to “The endorsement I never thought I’d write.” And here it is, from The New Republic Online. It’s well worth the read and probably more balanced than any other endorsement I’ve read of either candidate anywhere.
