Impact of NY tTimes endorsement? ;-) I was worried there for a minute, but was bouyed by a conversation this weekend with minority blue collar worker/national guardsman this weekend. He really came down hard on Kerry's military record. To be fair I spoke with another minority blue collar worker who was formerly active duty military and he was pro Kerry although he was for the Iraq war, but felt Bush was doing a poor job getting the job over with and our troops home. It was good to hear people even more likely than me to disagree with Bush domestic policy make more sense about the issues than many of the posters here.
