The other newspapers, who were courted much less, and thereby much more objective, picked the candidate (Obama) who most obviously represents what this country needs today. Fresh, honest ideas that aspire to rise above the mediocrity that we are face with among the same politicians of today.

I want a candidate who is Presidential – capable and ready to lead on Day One. Chris Dodd far outshines everyone on both Democratic and Republican sides.

Results Matter.

I am surprised that Obama has gotten so many endorsements so far. I expected most of them to go to Biden or Clinton. thanks for keeping track I don't think newspaper endorsements are that influential, but it's nice to have a handy chart of them.
