Greg:

What other NY papers have endorsed Obama?

About Florida:

The 857,208+ people who voted for Hillary Clinton say it's real. For Obama supporters--or just Hillary haters in general--to cry election fraud in New Hampshire to turn around and plead for the voiding of a vote that almost 2 million Democrats participated in is sickening.

You know damn well that if the tables were reversed it would be more "Clinton voter suppression."

Clinton cleaned Obama's clock in the first state with a large population to vote (unless you count another "phony" victory, in Michigan) after days of establishment Democrats pillorying Bill Clinton.

And when you look at the exits, please explain why Hillary is winning among people who identify amount VERY LIBERAL and LIBERAL and your guy is only winning among CONSERVATIVES.

Sounds like despite the toxic Hillary hatred in the blogosphere she represents the Democratic Wing of the Democratic party.

Well, shoot! And I thought Murdoch was Hillary's patron...well, that's at least what most Obama supporters once said.

Really more anti-Clinton than pro-Obama, isn't it. It's like we don't hate this guy, though we still thinks he's unfit to serve. Who'd of thought I'd ever agree, if just in part, with a NY post editorial.

This "endorsement" of Obama was to Clinton as the Times' "endorsement" of McCain was to Il Douche--a thinly veiled swipe at someone the editorial board detests. Though the Times did write much nicer things about Clinton than the typically churlish Post did about Obama.

As a New Yorker (and Obama supporter) I can say that the NYT endorsement matters a little, and none of the other ones at all. We're a pretty well-informed bunch, and tend to reach our own conclusions.

Dude,

Do you not see how billing yourself "Tony Rezko" might undermine your message decrying "toxic Hillary hatred"?

I'm sure this is about as welcome to Obama as Redstate.com's endorsement of Hillary was to her.

Thanks for those who responded. As for the "endorsement", it muust be all the rage of conservative leaning papers, the anti-endorsement endorsement.

This one won't be posted on the Obama website.

the Tony Rezko name is childish and represents behavior more suited for an Obama supporter.

and yet it's a clinton supporter using it. shocking. go take some mylanta, you old fart.

Yeah Tony, we were supposed to all meet up for lunch. What gives?

Norman, what's up bud? i see the lincoln bedroom in our respective futures, no?

Yeah, um "Tony" pretty much every single thing you said is crap, and just screams ignorance. I'm really embarrassed for you, and consequently I'm embarrassed to be in the same party as you.

What a great endorsement.

We really don't know what he'll do and we don't like much that we've heard, but at least he ain't a Clinton.

She appears to be crumbling. What happens when Edwards and Gore endorse Obama. How do the Clintons recover?

It is SO NOT TRUE that NY democrats don't read the Post. Maybe affluent ones don't, but TONS of working-class and blue-collar democrats and independents read the Post.

Lifelongdem is absolutely on the money. It's too bad that the endorsement is cast in such negative terms, but the tabloids have massive audiences, and they are by no means exclusively republican.

Hey Rezko, who you calling toxic, yah hater?

I was out of town last week and didn't have time to log on. So I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the NYT endorsed HRC, but I couldn't find a headline on TPM about this at all? What happened? But you list another NY city paper endorses Obama? I didn't think TPM was biased against HRC before, but I'm starting to have my doubts now. Where's the link to that endorsement of HRC by the NYT? Be fair and/or balanced or I'll stop coming here.

CT Voter,

I don't read the NYT so I appreciate your appraisal. Like you, I am now a little more sanguine about Fox News. At least with them, no one has any illusions. I do think they have toned down their partisanship in the last couple of years. Maybe they realized they had to in order to maintain some level of credibility.

MonaL - most folks that regularly use the phrase fair and balanced aren't really aware of what it means. Here's the link to TPM's coverage of the NYT endorsement for Clinton:

Do not discount the value of this endorsement.

The average citizen in NYC reads this newspaper. Although it is a conservative newspaper it reaches a lot of people as it only costs .50. Hillary has the endorsement of highbrow NYT but a lot NYT readers are endorsing Obama.

Oh oh -- The Hillabots are upset 'cause the Queen didn't get the endorsement of the New York newspaper that is read by all the people who are supposedly supporting her!

How do you say Sour Grapes?

Gee, do you suppose The Wall St. Journal will now, also, endorse Obama?

Rupert Murdoch owns that too.

Do the Obama supporters, here, now love Rupert Murdoch?

Rupert Murdoch seems to like Obama mainly because he is not a Clinton.

Certainly, this is a feeble endorsement.

For all his charisma and his eloquence, the rookie senator sorely lacks seasoning: Regarding national security, his worldview is beyond naive; America must defend itself against those sworn to destroy the nation.

His all-things-to-all-people approach to complicated domestic issues also arouses scant confidence. "Change!" for the sake of change does not a credible campaign platform make. But he remains a highly intelligent man, with a strong record as a conciliator.

Is the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News the next to endorse Obama?

Actually I take that back and apologize. Maxstar212 just said something elegantly. Funny how one thoughtful and insightful comment can redeem a thread.

MOYNIHAHN'S WIFE BACKS OBAMA

"Elizabeth B. Moynihan, the widow of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the New York senator who, from a hayfield on his upstate farm, helped shepherd Hillary Rodham Clinton into his Senate seat, has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“It is a rare gift to be able to inspire people to share a vision that requires commitment and dedication,” she wrote in the e-mail message, to David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Mr. Obama.

“The hope that John Kennedy characterized for Americans spread across the world, then faded with his death,” Mrs. Moynihan wrote. “I believe Obama, like Kennedy, has the gift to transcend obstacles and to inspire Americans to bring out the best in themselves. I firmly believe the election of Barack Obama would help restore hope and America’s image in the world.”"

Alma Rangel, Elizabeth Moynihan, Dick Cody...Who'll defect to Obama next? Who cares about the NY Post, I'm sure Rupert Murdoch is still funding Hillary.
