Alaska's largest newspaper (Anchorage Daily News) endorses OBAMA! LOL!

Alaska enters its 50th-anniversary year in the glow of an improbable and highly memorable event: the nomination of Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate. For the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office, and in doing so she brings broad attention and recognition not only to herself, but also to the state she leads.

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.

My cheeks are blushing for her as if I had rouge on them.

OMG her adopted home town, and the newspaper to which she sent all those brownies on the reporter's birthdays. :rofl: :rofl:

Guess they know here better than any of us! So that's an even stronger endorsement!!!

coming back to Alaska will be.

The Anchorage Daily News understands Obama much better than the Tampa Tribune does.

"Sen. Obama warned regulators and the nation 19 months ago that the subprime lending crisis was a disaster in the making. Sen. McCain backed tighter rules for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but didn't do much to advance that legislation. Of the two candidates, Sen. Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown's root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it. It is easy to look at Sen. Obama and see a return to the smart, bipartisan economic policies of the last Democratic administration in Washington, which left the country with the momentum of growth and a budget surplus that President George Bush has squandered."

The only part of "maverick" part of mccain that showed up in the General Election is ICK.

So ironic that Obama is the real Maverick. mccain will not ruin that descriptive word for me..they are so many Mavericks for Obama:patriot: :patriot:
