There is a Choice...

Congrats to Bob at Howling for successfully organizing this coordinated post from 11 different bloggers -- they lay out compelling arguments for the election of John Kerry.

Kerry's talking about energy independence and strong environmental protection; Dubya's babbling about "Healthy Forests" and "Clear Skies." From my perspective, there really isn't a choice.
