Kansas City Star endorses Obama
They give McCain a pretty hefty body slam as well -

But McCain has been a less impressive candidate this year than when he ran for president in 2000. Although claiming to be a change agent, he is following in Bush’s footsteps on everything from the war in Iraq to tax breaks that favor the wealthy over the middle class.

Despite his age and previous health problems, McCain chose a vice presidential candidate who is so clearly unqualified for high office that the thought of her stepping into the presidency is frightening.

That irresponsible decision casts serious doubt on McCain’s judgment at this point in his political career. And over the past eight years, Americans have come to know, all too well, the high price of carelessness and ineptitude in the White House.

...The world is watching and hoping Americans will choose a president who will reach out to allies. Obama will restore America’s reputation as a land of civil liberties, educational opportunities and good faith.

5. Maybe, but they did endorse Kerry in 2004.

4. That's quite an endorsement, coming from a bright red state.
I wonder what their LTTE page will look like tomorrow.

Boeing tanker and cost them major$$ and jobs.
