Fort Worth Star-Telegram Endorses Obama!
by: mariochampion
Mon Feb 18, 2008 at 13:46:56 PM CST

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has endorsed Barack Obama, making as near a clean sweep of Texas major papers.
just a few quick quotes:


Right now, America needs transformation.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is bringing more Americans into the electoral process, and that means a stronger America.

The expectation and pressure on him to deliver change on a worldwide scale will be tremendous. If he continues to deliver the kind of turnout at the polls that he has shown so far, he would move onto that stage with a commanding mandate from the American people.

Yes, we know, hope is not a strategy. But it can get people working together to find one.

I suggest reading the whole article, it does a nice job on the important differences between two good candidates,, but how, in the end, Obama is the stronger choice for Texas.

6. Not surprising. Most of the Texans I know will not vote for a Clinton.
I think these endorsements reflect the fact that, for Texans, the experience put forth by the Clinton campaign is not the sort they want.
