1. Has anyone started a thread with all of Obama's endorsements so far?

It would be awesome to see a complete list and to add them all to one post as they roll in!

The Idaho Statesman in Boise also endorsed Obama!

4. Palin graduated from the University of Idaho....

But that didn't seem to help. Heck, they even mentioned it, and it still didn't help.

Good solid endorsement.

2. What an extremely well-written endorsement.

And like all the others, they do mention mccain & palin's negativity and personal attacks (and don't like it); the palin' pick (they don't like it) and John's ever-so-willingness to say and do anything for political expediency (ie he lies; they don't like that, either).

10. Add the Austin American Statesman to the Texas list

AAS 10/19/08
ENDORSEMENT
President: Obama answers call for change, hope, leadership

On taxes, on foreign policy, on questions of energy, Sen. Barack Obama shows a firm grasp on the problems and a solid grip on solutions
Sunday, October 19, 2008

Each of the two major presidential candidates fill the air with different words that all say "change," but only Sen. Barack Obama defines change clearly and positively.

It is a time of peril, both at home and abroad, and the nation needs the focused, energetic leadership Obama has projected and delivered since he announced his presidential candidacy in early 2007.

It's true that Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, is a relative newcomer. In making the national acquaintance, however, he not only has offered solid ideas but also rallied a mix of discipline and organization to propel him from long shot to the top of the ticket.

Our local rag in Austin (I pronounce it ASS) endorsed the bush boy twice.
