Alaska's Largest Newspaper Endorses Obama

The Anchorage Daily News is excited that one of their own has been tapped for national office, but the editors just don't think Sarah Palin is qualified:

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. ... despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.

The paper, the largest in the very conservative state, concludes that Obama brings "far more promise" to the office of the presidency than John McCain.

Nuff said!

Spoke to a Hillary supporter last week, and she said "you can't substitute one vag*** for another", and putting Palin on the ticket was an insult to feminists. This race is over, and it will be one of the biggest landslides in American political history.
