Why Elect John Kerry? It'll Take 21 Days To Tell You

The Philadelphia Inquirer officially endorsed Kerry on Sunday. No big shocker there. Here's an excerpt of their endorsement editorial:

You also deserve a fair picture of the second half of the case for change: the record and views of John Kerry.
This, very few of you have gotten during a petty, dispiriting campaign. Some blame rests with the Democrat. He has not framed the debate with the force and clarity he must master to be an outstanding president.
More blame, though, rests with Bush. Awash in millions from the corporate donors to whom his White House caters so avidly, the President has spent more time ridiculing Kerry through distortions than presenting his own plans.
Bush backers cling to a tired, tiresome slogan of elections past: Kerry is a clueless liberal, out of touch with the American mainstream.
Here is what Kerry thinks, and what his record as a U.S. senator, lieutenant governor and prosecutor underscores:
John Kerry thinks government should pursue solutions to problems that haunt American lives, but must pay for each initiative as it goes - not stick the nation's children with the tab. Robert Rubin, the superb Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, praises Kerry as a senator who stood tall on the tough votes that tamed deficits.
He thinks work is better than welfare; he voted for welfare reform.
He thinks it's unacceptable that 45 million Americans lack health coverage; he has a smart plan to shrink that number dramatically.
He wants science to do all it can to speed cures for illnesses.
He knows that protection of America's air, land and water can't be left to the whims of corporations.
He doesn't just shrug when he sees American children slipping into poverty, or more paychecks losing buying power.
If those aren't mainstream American values, then God help America. But of course these are American values.

Typical populist rhetoric; Bush awash in millions from corporations, blah, blah, blah...But this is the kicker, they will explain why they chose Kerry for the next 21 straight days til the election. They will have a pro-Kerry editorial daily through November 2nd. Granted, they are allowing a Republican read the editorial prior to publishing and respond to the editorial the same day (today it was David Horowitz), but they are actually going to take 21 days to explain Kerry to the Philly metro area. The guy has been here a few dozen times and has been in two articles praising him on a daily basis for months. They still think they need to explain Kerry for three friggin' weeks.
