New Haven Register Backs Obama
<snip>

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The New Haven Register on Sunday endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for his party's presidential nomination, criticizing rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, and backed Republican John McCain, calling him "the least calculating, the most genuine" candidate.

The newspaper editorialized that Obama, the junior senator from Illinois, "is not only the most inspirational but has, as of today, the best chance of winning in November."

The paper blasted former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Clinton for their "disgraceful performance" in the South Carolina primary. The New Haven Register accused the ex-president of trying to marginalize Obama as a black candidate and said the senator used "campaign slurs" against Obama.

"The Clintons would drag us back to the past. Obama looks to the future," the newspaper said.

And sure I will. We're bringing the camera too, but we've had issues lately uploading the pix. So hopefully, we'll have pix too.

11. Conviction politics works.
Clinton still doesn't understand that. Its why Kerry lost in '04 and its why Hillary will lose if nominated.
