I don't follow him closely, but James Fallows doesn't strike me as the kinda guy who endorses particular candidates. Looks a lot like that's
exactly what he's doin' here.
Fair warning for what's ahead: I once worked for a Democratic president. As I say in a discussion with Ta-Nehisi Coates included in our new Atlantic eBook, in this election I prefer the Democratic position to the Republican in economic policy, in foreign policy, and in social policy. Weigh that as you may.
On the basis of the past 18 hours, I will now say that I also strongly prefer the Democratic presidential candidate to the Republican on temperamental grounds. Mitt Romney's response to the murder of American diplomats in Libya was his "3 a.m. phone call" moment, and what it revealed was not good.
"The other side" is apparently totally stuck in the bubble. There is practically nothing coming from "conservatives" but the same old and tired meme about "Obama's Apologies".
