Another Endorsement From An Unlikely Source

From the Huffington Post column written by the person who endorsed Barack Obama today.
Nothing about the Republican ticket offers the hope America needs to regain it’s standing in the world, that’s why we’re going to support Barack Obama. I think that Obama has shown his ability and integrity.

An Historic Endorsement from Obama’s Hometown Newspaper

As I noted earlier today, The Washington Post has endorsed Obama.

And the WaPo Endorses…

Barack Obama.
No surprise there, though the Post is hardly a bastion of liberalism and pro-Democratic sentiment, regardless of what the finger-pointing self-victimizers of the right may have to say about it.

Forget Sarah Palin… The opponent is John McCain and his stance on the issues represents more of the same, not change. That’s the message in Obama’s latest ad that focuses on equal pay for women:
On Monday, in a conference call with female supporters, Barack Obama and his aides outlined a new strategy to target women [...]

Clinton Seeks Democratic Convention Voice

Senator Hillary Clinton wants her delegates to have a voice at the upcoming Democratic Convention… And rightly so. Like all candidates before her, who have fought a hard primary battle and have had committed supporters and delegates, Clinton wants her supporters to be heard. It’s not unusual… And yet, for some reason, it seems that some [...]

McCain Blows It Again

John McCain needs to get a grip. He’s either slipping a little or his mind is so filled with concern about his disorganized, constantly changing campaign that he can’t concentrate on the words coming out of his mouth.
Every day it seems, McCain drops out a comment that makes everyone stop for a moment in mid-stride, [...]
