New York Post endorses Barack Obama

The New York Post backed Barack Obama today in an endorsement that is more critical of Hillary Clinton than flattering of Obama.

The Post calls Obama "an untried candidate" who "sorely lacks seasoning" and whose worldview is "beyond naive."

But it says the more important issue for Democrats in New York and 21 other states voting next Tuesday is that "Obama represents a fresh start" and Clinton stands for "a return to the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled years of the almost infinitely self-indulgent Clinton co-presidency."

"Does America really want to go through all that once again?" the Post asks. "It will -- if Sen. Clinton becomes president."

4. I dunno. If I was running, I'd rather get a fundraiser from Murdoch (like Hillary did)
than a Post endorsement.

5. And Post gets it right on one count:
"
Finally, Sen. Clinton stands philosophically far to the left of her
husband, and is much more disciplined in pursuit of her agenda.

So, like The Nation, NY Post sees Obama to the right of Hillary

8. No kidding. When will this endorsement get listed on Obama's Web Site?
I can't seem to find an official Obama statement thanking them, either. Rude.

20. That's "rejecting the politics of the past"? Does Obama know that's Ted, and not Jack?
Obama has more positions than a day-glo zodiac sex poster...
