While newspaper editorial political endorsements may not be as important as they once were, this one from the Crawford, Texas Iconoclast might carry a bit more weight than some.
The little conservative weekly, which, not surprisingly, endorsed Bush in the 2000 election, has come out strongly in favour of John Kerry this time around. Crawford is the home of Dubya's little Texas play-cowboy ranch, where he spends a lot of his spare time, most notably, all of August 2001, while his daily intelligence briefings were warning him of a serious imminent Al Queda attack.
Who knows, maybe he'll have a little more spare time in his future.

Kerry Will Restore American Dignity
Few Americans would have voted for George W. Bush four years ago if he had promised that, as President, he would:

• Cut Medicare by 17 percent and reduce veterans’ benefits and military pay.
• Eliminate overtime pay for millions of Americans and raise oil prices by 50 percent.
• Give tax cuts to businesses that sent American jobs overseas, and, in fact, by policy encourage their departure.
• Give away billions of tax dollars in government contracts without competitive bids.
• Involve this country in a deadly and highly questionable war, and
• Take a budget surplus and turn it into the worst deficit in the history of the United States, creating a debt in just four years that will take generations to repay.
These were elements of a hidden agenda that surfaced only after he took office.
