GObama!
The Hartford Courant will endorse Sen. Obama this weekend, making it the newspaper’s second endorsement of a Democratic presidential candidate in its 244-year history.It gives all the usual reasons.
The Courant is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the nation.UPDATE:
The Obama-Biden ticket maintains its strong lead in the race for daily newspaper endorsements, by 134 to 52, an almost 3-1 margin and an even wider spread in the circulation of those papers (see full tally here). [...]
The two candidates have basically split the past 20 endorsements after Obama took a huge early lead.
Obama's lopsided margin, including most of the major papers that have decided so far, is in stark contrast to John Kerry barely edging George W. Bush in endorsements in 2004 by 213 to 205.
