Newspaper Endorsements

Editor & Publisher, like yours truly, is burned out from all of the endorsements, and therefore they are going to wait until Monday to do a more comprehensive update, which means I will not have any papers other than the ones on my links list to post.

I also plan to put up some weekly endorsements in the next couple of days.

Here are the major endorsements, besides the Hartford Courant, which will endorse Obama tomorrow:


The Baltimore Sun believes Obama is the best choice:

But after considering each man's domestic and foreign policy agendas, his judgment and temperament, we believe that Senator Obama is the best choice for voters on Nov. 4.

The Sun's history of endorsements Video Senator Obama's campaign has been extraordinarily open -- inclusive across generational, ethnic and class lines. His top advisers include Democrats and Republicans, giving substance to his promise of bipartisan leadership. He created a disciplined organization that raised record sums yet stayed within budget. Senator Obama's campaign testifies to his managerial skill and talent for surrounding himself with smart, hard-working people.

In his first term in Congress, Senator Obama cannot claim decades of Washington experience. But his steadiness and thoughtful approach to issues show he has the judgment and depth of knowledge to lead the country. His first major decision after winning the nomination was to name Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, a proven foreign policy hand, as his running mate. By contrast, Senator McCain's choice of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska called his judgment into question and has proved to be an unsettling distraction as she is woefully unprepared for the presidency.
