The newspaper endorsement season for the general election is just getting started, and on the early end kicked off effectively with the big one from the Seattle Times: In the presidential, for Democrat Barack Obama.
The key line: “American optimism has been wracked by President George Bush and a previous Republican Congress. If you want change, you do not keep what is essentially the same team in power. You try something different. You vote for the stronger matchup, Obama and Sen. Joseph Biden, a smart and steady hand on foreign policy and other matters.”
We’ll be following the endorsements as they roll.
ALSO Apparently the only other major national paper to endorse in the presidential so far is the New York Post, which went for John McCain, putting the two candidates 1-1 so far.
