They also compliment Howard Dean in the text of the full article.

Editorial: We endorse Clark for New Mexico's caucus

"Among a distinguished field of worthy Democratic candidates, retired Gen. Wesley Clark stands out and offers hope and vision.

Amid the intense and sometimes bitter confrontations of the Democratic primary campaign, Clark has emerged as calm, confident and capable - a political outsider but someone who knows the terrain very well, isn't easily fooled and is up to the challenge of the nation's problems.

Whether the issue is personal integrity, intellect, political vision, leadership or basic respect for the value of an American soldier's life, Clark has earned the right to carry his party's banner into a full-bore showdown with President Bush.

The Tribune endorses Clark for the Democratic nomination for president and urges New Mexico Democrats to vote for him with confidence during their caucus on Feb. 3"

10. An excellent editorial on top of everything else.

Very thoughtful. This should certainly help Clark in New Mexico, and helps keep him front and center there during the relative Iowa related Clark reporting black out. Just another reminder that Iowa is a one week more at most story, many big contests coming up.
