Supporting a presidential candidate is never without risk, and the possibility that Kerry is less than determined to win in Iraq is the most significant risk that he poses. On the other hand, George W. Bush poses risks that are arguably each smaller but almost too numerous to count. His fiscal policy is reckless; his stance toward congressional pork-barreling is spineless; his instincts on the environment, gay marriage, abortion rights and civil liberties are distressing. And although his determination to prevail in Iraq seems firmer than Kerry's, his capacity to do so is less obvious. Sometimes his team appears to be learning from its errors in Iraq. But then sometimes it's tone-deaf. Last week, a Pentagon spokesman insisted, against all evidence, that his department's policy was not connected -- no, not in any way at all -- to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. If you are Libertarian, big tent Republican, or Neo Conservative - this sums it up. Is Kerry really going to screw up Iraq? If the answer is that he can't possibly do any worse than George W. Bush, then the choice is obvious. QED
