No Democrat endorsed in 161 years. Until today.
The Chicago Tribune has not endorsed a Democratic candidate for President. EVER. Since they were founded in 1847.
Until today.
Of course, the publisher of the Chicago Tribune Pals Around with terrorists, so maybe you have to consider that.
Until today.
Many Americans say they're uneasy about Obama. He's pretty new to them.
We can provide some assurance. We have known Obama since he entered politics a dozen years ago. We have watched him, worked with him, argued with him as he rose from an effective state senator to an inspiring U.S. senator to the Democratic Party's nominee for president.
We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigor, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions. He is ready.
...
It may have seemed audacious for Obama to start his campaign in Springfield, invoking Lincoln. We think, given the opportunity to hold this nation's most powerful office, he will prove it wasn't so audacious after all. We are proud to add Barack Obama's name to Lincoln's in the list of people the Tribune has endorsed for president of the United States.
Of course, the publisher of the Chicago Tribune Pals Around with terrorists, so maybe you have to consider that.
