Philly Daily News For Obama
He might've had a rough ride last night during the ABC debate, but Barack Obama is having a fine morning. In addition to scoring a couple Super Ds, he won a glowing endorsement from the Philly Daily News ...
Should Democrats choose someone who will employ hard-won - even bitter - experiences gained in a past Democratic administration, or reach beyond political truisms toward a new (and untried) model of governing?
Neither choice is obvious. Perhaps that's why the race has gone on for so long.
But the long slog through 44 primaries and caucuses has confirmed for us that Sen. Barack Obama's vision of change - and the way he plans to pursue it - is what we need right now. Badly.
And this on Hillary Clinton:
Sure, Clinton has more "experience" of a sort. For one thing, she has 14 more years on earth. How much of this experience is directly applicable to the job of president is, at best, debatable.
We are frankly troubled by her assumption that her husband's administration and accomplishments were her own. And if her equation holds, that the first spouse is an equal partner in the administration, then the reappearance of Bill Clinton in the White House is a prospect we have a hard time reconciling with the work that needs to be done.

Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mr. Gibson,
What you moderated last evening was not a debate, it was the inquisition of one of the candidates. Shame on you and all those who helped to shape your questions and those through video. Your performance was an insult to the American public.

Last night's moderating of the debates was the worst performance I hope never to listen to again. Instead of asking pertinent questions on issues and programs, the moderators seemed to concentrate on "gotchas" and other inane subjects as well as being incredibly rude on occasions by interupting the candidates. Shame on ABC.

A major city newspaper endorses BHO? What a shock. I noticed the headline for the story covering the debate in the St. Louis Post Dispatch this morning was "Hillary admits Obama can Beat McCain". What passes for objectivity these days is beyond a joke.
Hats off to George S. and Charlie G. for finally asking questions that need to be answered. The response from the thought police has been hilarious and embarressing.
