Syracuse Post-Standard endorses Obama
Obama for President: The Illinois senator offers the best hope for America in a troubled time

Obama, meanwhile, has consistently shown an impressive, nuanced grasp of issues both domestic and foreign. And he has shown an uncanny ability to inspire people, both in America and abroad. Combined with his call for greater service to country, he has the potential to reinvigorate a dispirited nation -- especially its youth, who have been excited by Obama as by no other presidential candidate in recent history.

Obama has shown -- most particularly in his remarkable speech on race last March -- a depth of understanding that could help him unify a divided people. Those who contend his eloquence is simply empty rhetoric haven't been listening carefully enough.

Finally, his status as our first African-American president would send a powerful message to the world about the vitality and resilience of the American experiment.

Barack Obama is clearly America's best hope for the future.

1. Yes!!!! That's my home town!
Well, I moved two years ago, but I was born and raised in a suburb outside Syracuse, NY. I love the Post Standard (pretty progressive paper) and I love seeing this endorsement.
