John Kerry as the one who "carries the hope of [the world]" — somehow I doubt it. But isn't it something when The Guardian is using Biblical language to speak against Bush.

The Economist has been more restrained in its disappointment, though last week's "The case for gay marriage" was fairly sharp. I am curious as to whom they will endorse in the end; I don't imagine that will be an easy decision, especially if Kerry keeps up the populist rhetoric.
