Michael Totten has the first of two articles he’s writing on why to vote for the “other side.” This one is on the Hawkish case for Kerry, and it’s an interesting (and damning with faint praise) read. His two theses:
- Bush’s unpopularity (or virulent unpopularity among certain factions) at home and abroad, rational or not, has become a strategic liability.
- Kerry isn’t likely to do things all that differently from Bush, once actually faced with the same challenges.
Interesting stuff, and points I’m not likely to dismiss out of hand. Totten’s next article will be the Liberal case for Bush.
UPDATE (7-Oct-04): Totten’s article on “The Liberal case for Bush” is up.
Nice to see that Totten continues to be an Idiot.
Actually, I think his points are well-taken, but your mileage may vary.
