New York Times editorial board endorses Obama

By GottaLaff

This all pretty much goes without saying, now, doesn't it:

The editorial board of The New York Times has endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president.

In an editorial in its Friday editions, the board says that Mr. Obama “has the will and the ability to forge the broad political consensus that is essential to finding solutions to this nation’s problems.”

Of Mr. McCain, it says he has “retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism.”
