    Big news for Obama. This might help McCain among moderates, but it likely hurts him among the conservative base.

    In the language of metaphor, Clinton is an essay, solid and reasoned; Obama is a poem, lyric and filled with possibility. Clinton would be a valuable and competent executive, but Obama matches her in substance and adds something that the nation has been missing far too long -- a sense of aspiration.

    I owe someone at the LAT a beer for that closing.

    Well said.

    This will help both of them immensely. McCain may not be as conservative as some would like, but given the competition, I don't think the conservative base will be voting for the other side...
     
  6. It is still stupid for newspapers to endorse a candidate in each primary.

    I don't think newspaper endorsements make a whit of difference in a presidential primary or in a presidential election. All it does is reinforce the stereotypes people have about a candidate or your paper.
    Newspaper endorsements can make a difference in local elections and ballot initiatives. But I don't think you're going to get any facts or opinion about a candidate you couldn't find just by watching debates and speeches or reading articles about them
