The biggest newspaper in Europe—and one based in Germany, no less—has just endorsed G.W. Bush for US President.
Bild Backs Bush
Bild believes Bush will be better for Germany
Europe’s top-selling newspaper, the German tabloid Bild, endorsed George W. Bush for US president Tuesday, saying he would do a better job fighting terror and wouldn’t ask Berlin to send troops to Iraq.
Germany’s Bild Zeitung deemed Bush a known quantity in Europe, and said he had a better sense than Democratic challenger John Kerry of what Washington could expect from its transatlantic partners.
“Bush knows that Europe and Germany do not have the military capacity for a significantly larger commitment of troops beyond their current deployments abroad,” Bild journalist Hugo Mller-Vogg said in the editorial, echoing sentiments expressed by others as well.
“Thus he will not request a contribution,” the former publisher of the respected Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung continued. “But Kerry would do just that—and add a further burden to the already damaged German-American relationship,” he addedin what a spokesman said was likely the first US election endorsement in Bild’s 51-year history.
Notice how Bild ju-jitsus Kerry’s supposed strength and uses it against him. It’s precisely because Kerry has the mistaken notion that the US can demand more troops from Europe, that Bild opposes his candidacy.

#2If you go to the source article, it does NOT give the newspaper's endorsement. It's a simple published editorial by a famous author on why he wants to see Bush re-elected. Mostly it's the "devil you know" argument.

That does not appear to be the view of leading German weblog, MedeinKritik, who posts:
Perhaps the largest October surprise in Germany is the BILD newspaper's endorsement of President George W. Bush. BILD, which has the widest circulation of any newspaper in Europe, lists the following 10 reasons why Bush should be re-elected: [...]
