Washington Post Endorses Obama

In the op-ed page of today's issue of the Washington Post, the prominent newspaper formally endorsed Barack Obama for President.

But Mr. Obama's temperament is unlike anything we've seen on the national stage in many years. He is deliberate but not indecisive; eloquent but a master of substance and detail; preternaturally confident but eager to hear opposing points of view. He has inspired millions of voters of diverse ages and races, no small thing in our often divided and cynical country. We think he is the right man for a perilous moment.

In my humble opinion, this is well deserved praise for a great Democratic candidate.
