Sullivan's Endorsement
If you've been reading Andrew Sullivan at all in the past month, this endorsement for Kerry shouldn't be a surprise. Obviously, it's good news, not only because of his influence but because it's yet another Bush supporter from 2000 lending his support to Kerry.
On the other hand, his insight into the 2000 candidates wasn't very prescient:
"But one reason I have become so disenchanted with the Left is their politics of personal emotional blackmail. .. One reason I have come to respect Bush is that he has not indulged in the same tactics. I hold some slim hope that if he wins Tuesday, our politics might even become more civil, open and, yes, tolerant. I see few signs at present that Al Gore, after the vicious, divisive negativism of his campaign, could achieve the same result."

Sullivan's defection to Kerry simply means that he has decided to place his sexual desire above his (conservative) politics. It doesn't say much for Kerry if all who vote for him vote out of hatred for Bush.--Jamesaubrey
