Andrew Sullivan, senior editor at The New Republic has an insightful
piece on why voting for Kerry may be better for the Republican party's
centrist interests than voting for Bush.

"And when you think of what is happening in the two major parties, the
case for a Kerry presidency strengthens. If Bush wins, the religious
right, already dominant in Republican circles, will move the GOP even
further toward becoming a sectarian, religious grouping. If Kerry
loses, the antiwar left will move the party back into the purist,
hate-filled wilderness, ceding untrammeled power to a resurgent,
religious Republicanism--a development that will prove as polarizing
abroad as it is divisive at home. But if Bush loses, the fight to
recapture Republicanism from Big Government moralism will be given new
energy; and if Kerry wins, the center of the Democratic party will
gain new life. That, at least, is the hope. We cannot know for sure."
