The Line is Drawn Here

Memorial of Ss. Isaac Jogues, John de Brébeuf, and Companions

With the pending announcement from Sam Brownback that he's withdrawing from the presidential race, I have come to grips with the fact that I am unlikely to end up endorsing someone from the short list, which is something I've been contemplating for a little while, anyway; Sen. Brownback was the closest to getting my endorsement. I've also been delaying something because I preferred to come out for someone before I came out explicitly against the candidacy of someone else. Well, it is time to make a move.

I still believe that primaries are primarily about ideas, so I'm working on a way to advance my support for the remaining "non-negotiating" candidates (ref. here and here), but in the mean time: I stand in opposition to the candidacy of Rudolph Giuliani for President of the United States.

Update:
Brownback's withdrawal is official now.
