B - Endorsed Bush in 2004
K - Endorsed Kerry in 2004



Wow...my "hometown newspaper," The New Haven Register - endorsed Obama!
The Register has always been a "Republican" newspaper, and I can't
remember it ever endorsing a Democrat.

Here's what the Register said:

EDITORIAL: Barack Obama for president

Sunday, October 19, 2008 6:42 AM EDT

A year ago, John McCain, the Republican candidate for president, would
have had our vote. In terms of experience, political courage and
willingness to work with political opponents, McCain's record towered
above that of Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate.

Obama, 47, has been a senator less than four years. McCain, 72, was
first elected to the Senate in 1986. McCain famously bucked his party
and the president on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge,
global warming, Iraq policy and the torture of terrorism suspects. Obama
has a nearly perfect party line voting record, one of the most liberal
in the Senate.

Obama would throw out the secret ballot in union recognition elections
and opposes free trade agreements that will increase American business
and bolster U.S. allies.

McCain worked with Democrats to enact campaign finance reform, end a
logjam on judicial nominees and on a failed immigration compromise.
Obama skipped the work on the judicial nomination stalemate and helped
undermine the immigration bill.

On top of his political record, McCain is an American war hero — his
character tested and proved during the five years he was a prisoner
during the Vietnam War after being shot down while serving as a Navy
fighter pilot.

But this admirable man has transformed himself into a partisan
Republican at a time when the public temper demands a change of
political climate, and his unregulated market beliefs lay in shambles
along with many of the world's financial systems.

There is too much truth to be ignored in the Democrats' charge that
electing McCain would mean, in effect, a third term for the failed
policies of the Bush administration.

McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate
is confirmation of that fear. The governor of Alaska is utterly
unqualified to be next in line as president of the United States. Her
selection was a purely political choice, without regard to the national
interest.

Palin's opposition to abortion, even in the case of rape or incest, is a
reminder of the Republicans' willingness to use government to intrude on
deeply personal choices when they controlled Congress. McCain shares her
abortion stance.

Equally troubling is McCain's choice of a running mate who thinks
creationism should be taught as an alternative to evolution, invokes God
to justify political decisions and suggested banning books from her
town's library.

On the campaign trail, Obama's measured performance wins praise compared
with McCain's erratic actions, including the brief suspension of his
campaign during the congressional debate of the $700 billion financial
bailout legislation.

McCain now wants to make permanent the Bush tax cuts that he once
opposed. Those cuts have largely favored the rich and helped fuel the
federal budget deficit. Obama would shift the balance to put more of the
tax burden on the rich, where it belongs. Under Obama's tax plan, a
married couple with two children and a gross income of $1 million would
pay $35,500 more in taxes. Under McCain's plan, they would pay $6,100
less, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis.

If a choice must be made, Obama's health care plan is preferable, too.
He would build on the current system, in which most Americans get health
coverage through their employer.

McCain would throw out that system, with individuals finding their own
health care coverage and receiving a tax credit to help pay part of the
cost. The McCain plan would mean many would have to pay more for
coverage or settle for reduced benefits. Further, the McCain plan is
more costly. Obama's health care plan would cost about $100 billion a
year in its first years, McCain's $160 billion, according to independent
estimates.

On Iraq, McCain deserves credit for arguing for the troop surge that has
brought a fragile stability to the country. Obama's 16-month timetable
for withdrawing combat troops is too rigid.

But, McCain's emphasis on American "victory" in Iraq is out of step with
Iraq's transformation into a sovereign state that wants U.S. troops to
leave as soon as possible.

Neither candidate has dealt seriously with how to save either Medicare
or Social Security from insolvency. Indeed, fixing the two entitlement
programs is not even among their top priorities.

Neither candidate has indicated how the government's spending of well
over $1 trillion on financial bailout measures will affect their plans
for new government spending.

If Obama met all his campaign spending promises, it would add $286
billion to $413 billion to the national deficit; McCain's spending would
add $167 billion to $259 billion, according to the Committee for a
Responsible Budget.

In their second debate, McCain said he would go forward with all his
programs. Obama, at least, suggested a need for priorities.

Obama has proven a disciplined campaigner and a brilliantly effective
orator. After eight years with a Republican in the White House, a fresh
perspective is needed. Barack Obama should be the next president of the
United States.

She's turned out to be a better pick than Joe "Foot in Mouth" Biden. Why
hasn't Biden been doing any interviews since early September? Biden has
turned out to be the a very bad pick for VP. Obama has constantly had to
come out and explain what Biden meant and what the campaign really means.

It has been funny to watch.

The voters think Biden is a much better pick than Palin, who proves over
and again she knows absolutely nothing. I do understand why you like Palin.
