…her state’s biggest newspaper endorses Obama?

It seems that the Anchorage Daily News further confirms what many of us know, Sarah Palin’s not helping John McCain.  Also, any charm she has is not distracting away from a critical analysis of McCain’s policy proposals.

Yesterday, that paper officially endorsed Barack Obama for President.

Here’s some of what they had to say about Obama:

“Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.”

In regards to McCain, they offered the following:

“Sen. McCain describes himself as a maverick, by which he seems to mean that he spent 25 years trying unsuccessfully to persuade his own party to follow his bipartisan, centrist lead. Sadly, maverick John McCain didn’t show up for the campaign. Instead we have candidate McCain, who embraces the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted and cynically asks Americans to buy for another four years.”

And, on Palin, they stated the following:

“Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.”

So, even the biggest paper in the Governor’s home state is saying look to the other guy.  I think the choice is clear.
