[ It's not exactly glowing, but this is the Economist... a journal i'd have figured to bow out and not say anything before making the call for Kerry. Granted, they didn't leave it a lot of time to effect changes of mind, but still.

Unsurprisingly, the article is really more about why Bush is incompetent than about why Kerry is superior... they hnad both of the candidates a fair share of smack down, but in the end decide that Bush is just out of his league and can't be allowed to fuck up any more. I'm paraphrasing, of course. -k]
