Voters' choice is clear: John Kerry for presidentSunday, October 10, 2004
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD
John Kerry should be the next president of the United States. This endorsement is based not only on President (sic) Bush's failings -- which are manifest -- but also on the conclusion that Kerry can succeed where Bush has failed.
It's a conclusion built on a series of editorials offering an "election framework" in which to judge Bush's record and Kerry's potential for success.

George W. Bush has failed America on the economy, civil liberties, the environment, nuclear proliferation and, most unforgivable, on national security by leading us into a demonstrably unnecessary war in Iraq that has distracted our attention from and diminished our capability to fight a comprehensive global war on terror.
Kerry is intellectually and ideologically equipped to succeed where Bush has failed. The obvious prospects for that success lie in his military, congressional and international experience, his superior intellectual curiosity and willingness to consider dissenting opinions, his commitment to protecting the civil liberties of all Americans and his potential to surround himself with a broad coalition of competent Cabinet members, staff and advisers.
