The Voter's Choice

The Voter's Choice - Sullivan notes the real "two Americas":

Yes, there are two different countries within a country right now. But it's not red and blue exactly. It's not even secular and religious. Or north and south. More accurately, as blogger FrozenNorth explains, it is between those who believe we are at war and those who believe we aren't.

He also notes his own conundrum:

I may be unable to support a president who would defile the constitution. But equally, no one should support a candidate who cannot be trusted to take the war to the foes of this country. Before they take the war to us - again.

So there's your question: Which is more important to you? The budget/gay marriage/abortion, or our survival as a free, safe nation? That presumes, falsely, that it's a clear choice - that John Kerry woulc be any better on the budget, for example.

That it's a choice at all for so many people is profoundly disquieting.

That Sullivan has been trying to stir that choice up so hard for the past few weeks is worse.
