And with Colorado being a swing state (or is it a battleground state? I can never keep those two straight), this endorsement could make a difference.

Barack Obama for President

Quote:
Republicans love to mock Obama's history as a community organizer. But here was a man with no money to offer, no patronage to dispense, no way to punish his opponents. All he could do was to work with people from all walks of life, liberals and conservatives, business people and the unemployed, and bring them together in common cause for a better community. Could there really be better preparation to reunite a worried and divided America to again pursue our "more perfect union"?

If Americans were only worried about foreign affairs, McCain's stalwart service in the military and experience on the national stage would make him the more credible commander in chief. But our eyes have turned homeward and, in this hour, Obama has the eloquence and vision to bring us back together.

As novelist Christopher Buckley said in endorsing Obama, the Illinois senator "has a first-rate intellect and a first-rate temperament."

With the help and prayers of the American people, we believe those talents can also make Barack Obama a great president.

And David Harsayani's (sp?) head explodes. He's one of their columnists whose idea of "incisive commentary" is repeating in print the kind of junk that Rush and Sean say over the air.

Except that it has some pretty good sections, as well as "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip I'd drop my subscrption. That an my local paper's idea of "breaking news" is a bake sale at the VFW.

I wonder if the Rocky Mountain News will endorse McCain, it tends to be far more conservative than the Post.
However, back in 2004, along with the Rocky Mtn News, and bending to pressure from its conservative publisher, the Post infuriated many readers by endorsing Bush.
