Two Key Newspaper Endorsements

Both the Houston Chronicle and the Milwaukee Sentinel Journal endorsed Obama today. While I don’t think newspaper endorsements add very much, one’s the biggest in Wisconsin and one’s among the top four most read in Texas.

In the latter, the Dallas Morning News, the Austin American Statesman and the Fort Worth Star & Telegram have yet to add their voices to the contest. And in the other key state, Ohio, there’s another 4 or 5 that carry some influence.

As I still believe this primary will be a game of inches, each endorsement likely will add at least an inch to the current polling.

Currently carrying double digit leads in OH and TX, Clinton could use a few of these endorsements to help maintain that.

  1. Bill of Milwaukee Says:

    The “Milwaukee Sentinel Journal endorsed Obama”.

    I already support him and it’s almost enough to cause reconsideration. If reactionary lowlifes like that crowd pander for someone, are we forced to rethink?

    Poor Sen. Obama, can hardly go about repudiating every low life that sneaks out from under a rock to endorse an obvious winner. But I hope he understands that if Joe Stalin were leading, as much as he is, that these are the people who would be claiming that they have “always been loyal communists”.
