...The Tribune believes Obama has reawakened the imagination, work ethic and hope of Americans coast to coast and across the political spectrum - particularly among the nation's youngest voters who finally seem engaged in their country and their future.
...It has been a very long time since America had the leadership of someone who could disarm us of our pessimism, remind us of our roots and heritage and insist that we can solve America's enormous problems together. Instead of an impassable American mountain, Obama sees a team of American mountaineers plodding toward the summit.
...We enthusiastically endorse the presidential aspirations of Obama as the candidate in the New Mexico Democratic caucus most capable and willing to lead this country by challenging each and every one of its citizens to do what needs doing - achieve the American dream, rooted in those famous words: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
