Indiana: Three Sunday Newspaper Endorsements for Obama

[book_worm]

Muncie Star-Press:
Sen. Barack Obama is the best candidate in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. He represents America's best chance for a real and positive change in direction for a country beset by an unpopular war and economic doldrums.

The United States is as polarized as it has ever been in its 232-year history. From the Oval Office all the way to Main Street, the division has paralyzed the country. Obama has demonstrated a unique ability to unite Americans of all ages, race and gender and has the best chance to end the culture war at home. He also could unify a country that that needs to pull together, not apart, if it expects to keep its position as world leader and restore its moral authority.

... Obama has breathed new life into the Democratic party, helping to rebuild it into a 50-state party through his appeal to important and previously disaffected young voters. Youth are the future of our country, but both parties have either ignored or been unable to reach them for generations. The fact that many are paying attention now, thanks to Obama, bodes well for the future.

Gary Post-Tribune:
The buzz word in the race for the Democratic nomination for president has been “change” — change from the failed policies of President Bush, who has little positive to hold on to as he approaches the end of his presidency.

Barack Obama has taken the crusade for change a step further, calling for a change in the politics and policies of Washington and the country as a whole.

We recommend a vote for Obama because he potentially represents more of what is new than Hillary Clinton, who is part of the inside crowd in Washington.

Louisville Courier-Journal (large circulation in Southern Indiana):

"We were always the longshot," . "The fact we've done so well speaks to the hunger of the American people for a different message and a different direction."

We agree, and we also believe that Sen. Obama is the Democratic candidate better equipped to restore Americans' hope for the future and to bring change to Washington.

For that reason, we endorse Sen. Obama in Tuesday's Indiana primary and in the May 20 contest in Kentucky.

1. I wish I could be excited, book

But I don't think newspaper endorsements matter in the least bit. Sorry.

2. So what?

I'm excited about them. Better he gets them than Hillary. Hillary already's got the Corporate media in her pocket. I would hate for her to also get the local presses.

Sorry.

He got big print endorsements in PA. Didn't do a damn thing. The point is, I couldn't give a shit who my hometown rag went for. Most people get there news elsewhere. Not trying to be a downer.

3. I don't think they matter as much but I think with some undecided voters it might make a difference

and even if it's as few as 1 or 2% it could make a difference in a closely contested state like Indiana.
