Star-Telegram recommends Obama for President (long editorial)
http://www.star-telegram.com/225/story/996463.html

Obama provides the prescription for America’s ills at this moment: a fine, inquisitive intellect, paired with an eloquence that allows him to articulate a message with clarity and substance; an ability to inspire people of all ages, races and ethnicities who never before were engaged in the political process; and an unflappable temperament that allows him to weather a barrage of withering personal attacks.

Under his leadership, the Obama campaign has been amazingly disciplined, efficient and effective. Those same talents will be essential for the difficult work ahead to rebuild the nation’s faltering economic institutions and restore citizen confidence.
...
Barack Obama’s performance throughout this two-year presidential campaign has been extraordinary. He has never blown his cool under enormous pressure and vicious attacks. He has continued to speak of bringing our nation together to work for the "more perfect union" that our forefathers envisioned.

That is indicative of what Americans can and should expect of a commander in chief when the unexpected occurs — and it will occur.

The Star-Telegram recommends Barack Obama for president of the United States.

1. I've been waiting for this
I'm glad they chose the candidate who is the best man for the job.

2. Texas editorial boards are coming to their senses
Well some of them are. Not you Belo controlled DMN or you San Antonio Express with your heads up your asses!

This is the Star-Telegram Molly would be proud of! She used to work for the S-T you know.

:applause:

3. Glad too see that.
Especially since the Dallas Morning News is continuing down its failed neo-con pretensions in endorsing McSame, but I expected nothing less.

5. Glad to see the Startlegram backing Barak.....
FW Startlegram endorses Obama, but Tarrant County is still heavily Republican. Still it's a good sign.

The Dallas Morning Snooze endorsed McCain. With Dallas County going more and more Democratic, maybe they need to "elect" a new newspaper over there.....

6. Hmmm...
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 09:40 AM by BlueCollar
I wonder if my ongoing continued refusal to subscribe to the startlegram because they endorsed bush* had anything to do with it? Every time I got a call I suggested that the reason I wouldn't subscribe was because of their blatantly conservative bent.

They're not off the hook yet. They endorsed Brimer...

on edit they endorsed repukes for just about everything else...

screw em...
