Crossing Party Lines

The American Conservative magazine has endorsed John Kerry for president. Except yeah, okay, it's more of an anti-endorsement of George Bush, but their view seems to be that four years of Kerry are preferable to four more years of Bush.

Other conservative endorsments of Kerry: John Eisenhower, former Republican Senator Marlow Cook, the Tampa Tribune, and a whole bunch of others. That's not even including groups such as the Log Cabin Republicans who are refusing to choose sides.

It's much harder to find Democrats who endorse Bush, impossible to find liberals who do. Besides Zell Miller, the mayor of Youngstown, and some Mississippi Democrats, I can only find this guy in my 15 minutes of googling.

UPDATE:
The right-leaning Orlando Sentinel has endorsed Kerry. And I neglected to mention that former NYC mayor, Democrat Ed Koch has endorsed Bush (I always thought he was a Republican, for some reason).

I wonder if any of these people live in a swing state...
