Bruce Springsteen Endorses Kerry

You'd have to be a fool not to realize Bruce Springsteen has been a liberal. But while he's never hesitated to speak his mind, Springsteen has avoided partisan politics or political endorsements. Until now. In the NYT today, he has a thoughtful essay that explains why he endorses John Kerry. Admired by millions, he might very well speak to the heartland and some of those undecideds. Given his principled career, links to causes like veterans and local food banks, and that searing tribute to 9/11 "My City in Ruins," this means a lot more than the usual celebrity endorsement. And if Kerry wins, it'll mean one hell of an inaugural ball.
