Despite, or Perhaps Because

of all of the shit hurled at her following her RFK remarks to the Argus Leader board, the paper endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination:

But Clinton is the strongest Democratic candidate for South Dakota.

Her mastery of complex policy detail is broad and deep, and her experience as a senator and former first lady matches that.

Measured against her opponent, Clinton is philosophically more moderate. That is likely a good thing for South Dakota.

Clinton's energy policy is forward thinking and wise. She advocates a broad federal research initiative to help solve our looming oil crisis. It's a plan that would join university researchers, private industry and individual inventors behind a common goal.

I hope the party bigwigs will see reason, too.
