My hometown paper, which has endorsed every Republican presidential candidate since Eisenhower except in 1964, is picking "none of the above." The Tampa Tribune explains why in its editorial, Why We Cannot Endorse President Bush For Re-Election
we are unable to endorse President Bush for re- election because of his mishandling of the war in Iraq, his record deficit spending, his assault on open government and his failed promise to be a "uniter not a divider'' within the United States and the world.
Neither can we endorse Sen. Kerry, whose undistinguished Senate record stands at odds with our conservative principles and whose positions on the Iraq war - the central issue in this campaign - have been difficult to distinguish or differentiate.
I have similar conflicts, which I will expound upon in more detail later.
