Telegraph (Macon) Endorses Obama

[Laelth]

The Telegraph (Macon, GA) this morning (10-26-08) announced its endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States.

When historians explore the 2008 presidential election at some future time after the glow of the moment has worn dim, they will find several history-making moments, most far from the obvious.

Naturally, history will record that the Democratic nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, is one part African American and one part white. In order to win the nomination he had to best one of the most defining political figures of the '90s, Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Republicans responded with a first of their own. Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee, selected a little-known governor from Alaska, Sarah Palin, as his running mate.

...

In the words of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Obama has "style and substance." That substance includes a keen intellect and posture to help him navigate the pressing issues facing our nation. He has a unique ability to inspire cross culturally. He is a living example that there is a new day dawning in the world, and he will make the case that, as usual, America will lead the way. We endorse Sen. Barack Obama.

Of course, The Telegraph has been endorsing the Democratic candidate for President since at least 1992, but I'm still happy to report that I live in a pocket of sanity in a moderate-to-red state.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.
