      New Yorker Endorses Obama's 'Uplift and Realism'

      (Newser) - At a critical moment in its history, the United States "needs both uplift and realism, both change and steadiness"—and Barack Obama is the man to deliver it, writes the New Yorker in a 4,000-word endorsement. After George W. Bush, whose presidency has been "the worst since Reconstruction," America requires a leader who understands the severity of the economic crisis and the complexities of foreign affairs, but also restores the country's "battered morale."

      NY Post Endorses McCain

      (Newser) - The New York Post “emphatically” endorsed John McCain today, praising the Arizona senator’s “battle-tested courage, unshakeable devotion to principle,” and national security acumen, and dismissing the “tissue-paper-thin resume” of Barack Obama. Despite decades in Washington, McCain “is not of Washington,” the Post argues, something he underscored by picking outsider Sarah Palin as his running mate: “Neither plays well with others.” More »

      Times Scolds Clinton for 'Demeaning' the Campaign

      (Newser) - The New York Times today runs a scathing takedown of the candidate they endorsed for the Democratic nomination, asserting that Hillary Clinton’s attack mentality “undercuts the rationale for her candidacy that led this page ... to support her.” The paper's editorial board said the Pennsylvania primary race was “even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate” than those that came before—and the fault lies in the former first lady’s camp.

      Blue-Collar Philly Paper Taps Obama

      (Newser) - The Philadelphia Daily News endorsed Barack Obama today, calling the Democratic choice one “between the past and the future” and saying the campaign season has been a great indication of eventual governing style. Obama's performance proves his administration will be “well-managed, inclusive … freer of the corrupting influence of big-money donors and corporate interests.” The paper says Obama’s vision is “badly” needed.

      LA Times Picks: Obama, McCain

      (Newser) - The Los Angeles Times today endorsed Barack Obama and, with some qualifications, John McCain, in party nominations. While either Democratic hopeful “would make a strong nominee,” it wasn’t hard to pick the one “most focused on steering the nation toward constructive change,” it writes. “No political experience,” it adds, could “surpass Obama's life story in preparing a president to understand the American character.” More »

      Another NH Paper Slams Romney

      (Newser) - Hot on the heels of Sunday’s Concord Monitor “undorsement,” another New Hampshire newspaper has issued a blistering indictment of Mitt Romney. A Union-Leader editorial says Granite Staters are unconvinced by Romney’s “expertly rehearsed sales pitch,” because despite having “all the advantages: money, organization, statesman-like hair,” Romney is not “a candidate who will look them in the eye and tell them the truth.” More »
