Iowa City Press Citizen Endorses Kerry
Probably not a huge surprise, but another endorsement can't hurt.

"If a CEO took his company from record revenues to record debts, then bogged down his employees in a messy, costly project with no easy way out, shareholders would have no choice but to fire him. Given that, America's shareholders -- its voters -- need to hire a new CEO on Nov. 2."

1. wouldn't let him campaign to stay on
Can you imagine shareholders allowing such a CEO an opportunity to convince them what he did was good? All the while continuing the same crap? And telling them that no new CEO could do any better and the company would be attacked and taken over by hostiles?
And that almost half of said shareholders would say maybe he is right and we should give him another chance. Look, they'd say, he is so close with God and has conversations with Him.
And one of his most redeeming qualities is that he is no smarter than the lowest employee, someone you could bowl with and not feel inferior.
Yep, that'd be one long lasting company!

2. Welcome to DU!
He has a proven track record of fiscal irresponsibility, even before he was appointed pResident. It just makes no sense to vote for anyone who has been proven to be so incompetent.
