I'm glad Barack got the Las Vegas Reveiw Journal endorsement but I'm not digging their rationale

Other than saying Obama got the LVRJ endorsement I doubt he will use any of their words in any future mailers or ads. In addition to basically implying he is the lesser of 3 evils, I'm not digging the swipes at the Clinton years. YIKES!

Its obvious that come November they will be endorsing whomever the GOP candidate is. I'll take their endorsement, but its not one of my favorites.

For starters, imagine Sen. Clinton and "co-president" Bill Clinton invited onto a "This is Your Life" talk show where they're joined by Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky.

And that's before we even get around to a HillaryCare plan that could have sent you to jail for offering to pay your doctor in cash to "get to the head of the line."

Meanwhile, John Edwards' anti-capitalist populism is not in this country's long-term best interests.

Is Barack Obama, then, the ideal Democratic candidate for president? Hardly. His policy recommendations -- when he can be convinced to get any more specific than "I represent change" -- are the opposite of "change." They're old-line, welfare-state solutions that haven't spent enough time in the microwave to appear even superficially appetizing.

Sen. Obama is a relatively young man with relatively little of the kind of real-world experience that prepares a candidate to stand firm against urgent advice to, say, bomb some remote population of defenseless civilians to "send a message," or plunge the economy into a dark night of unforeseen consequences by crippling the free market in the name of "fighting greed."

But Barack Obama is, at least, likeable. He is a good enough orator that there is no need to cringe when he dares to speak off the cuff. He is a good politician, in the non-insulting sense that he knows how to speak to individual Americans and give them the feeling he cares about their concerns.

If that's what they offer as an endorsement, perhaps it's best they just keep it.

pedophiles and bathroom tappers that have been exposed these right wingers would drop the holier than thou attitude and realize that compared to them Bill Clinton looks wholesome.
