Ohio's Largest Paper Endorses Obama
If Hillary was counting on a win in Ohio to change the story-line after expected losses in multiple states this month, this isn't good news: The state's biggest paper, the Cleveland Plain Dealer has just endorsed Obama:
Obama's frequent talk of hope strikes some people as naive. It leads others to question his toughness. But Obama understands something his critics do not: Change requires vision and optimism, shared sacrifice and mutual trust. Hope can sustain those elements; a presidency defined by political tactics cannot.Hillary Clinton is an exceptionally bright and accomplished woman. Only a fool could dispute that. It would be nice if Obama's policy proposals were as meaty as those she has put forward. It's no wonder she wants Democrats to see this race as a choice between resumes.
But in a campaign where history matters, she carries an inordinate amount of baggage. Who wants to relive the soap operas of the 1990s?
Buying Obama's argument, and then some. Full editorial here.
