The Columbus Dispatch endorses President Bush

Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Columbus Dispatch endorsed President Bush over Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry on Sunday, saying it was "less than enthused" about choosing between the two candidates because neither one had a stellar record.

The newspaper said it strongly opposed Bush's decision to invade Iraq and that it has repeatedly criticized the incumbent's fiscal policy. But the paper said it believes Bush would be more successful than Kerry at pacifying Iraq.

"A victory for Bush will signal to the world and terrorists that the United States is committed to victory in Iraq and Afghanistan," the newspaper said in an editorial. "A Kerry victory will send an ambiguous signal that may raise doubts about American staying power."

The Dispatch also said that Bush would be more likely to reform Social Security and Medicare, which the paper said are the type of risky political moves that a first-term Kerry would avoid.

"Bush has every reason to take on precisely this sort of challenge, especially if he hopes to ensure that history remembers him for something other than the Iraq mess," the newspaper said.
