In a surprise move, the largest newspaper in Alaska has
endorsed Barack Obama for President.
The newspaper stated that appointing Sarah Palin as Vice President was 'too risky' given McCain's age.
They went on to say that Obama "brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand."
Of McCain they said, since the economic crisis has emerged, McCain has "stumbled and fumbled badly" in dealing with it.
While they liked Palin and talked about her passion, strong work ethic, and charisma, they didn't believe that realistically she was ready to be president should the need arise.
I was thinking of putting a list of Obama endorsements on my blog. But then I discovered the list was far larger than I had expected. Nearly a thousand high profile endorsements as of today.
