Lexington Herald - Leader Endorses Obama!

The Lexington KY newspaper has endorsed Barak Obama and while this is a traditional red state in federal elections, the Herald-Leader has a liberal leaning editorial board. With the Senate race so close, last poll I saw Lundsford was within 1% of McConnell, this can't hurt. It is a very well written and well-thought out editorial. If you have time, it's a good read. I suppose singing to the choir, but a good read nonetheless.


OBAMA RIGHT MAN for the JOB

Even if this country were not in dire need of a new direction, Sen. Barack Obama would make a better president than Sen. John McCain.
...
Compare their responses to the financial rescue negotiations: McCain thrust himself into the spotlight, threatening to cancel a debate and rushing to Washington where he had nothing to offer except a distraction. The talks, coincidentally, broke down that day.

Obama, on the other hand, was sensitive to the need to insulate the negotiations from presidential politics. He listened to his bipartisan advisers, including some who steered the vibrant economy of the Clinton years. He reassured the public that the country would weather the crisis and counseled patience and calm. He was, in a word, presidential. In the end, both candidates voted for the plan.

Edited for clarity...

not too bad for picking him early in November, either. GoooooooOOOOOOOOObama!

We have voted Democratic more often than not in State and Local elections but in the Presidential races and lately, in the Senate races this state got caught up in God and Country like so many others. KY did go for Clinton...so there is hope. I don't think we will pull off a blue victory here but there is a slim chance that McConnell could lose, slim but possible. Wouldn't that just be wonderful?????
