In a nomination campaign that has defied convention, Mr. Obama has energized an entire generation of voters that, for the most part, otherwise had checked out of political participation. That, at least, portends a new approach to governance that can help to dissipate the political miasma that has engulfed Washington ...
For Pennsylvania Democrats, the best answer in the April 22 primary is Barack Obama.

Pennsylvania Morning Call Endorses Barack ObamaBy Christopher Hass - Apr 13th, 2008 at 11:42 am EDT
With the state's primary just over a week away now,
http://www.mcall.com/news/opinion/all-a.6348993apr13,0,4038021,print.story">the Pennsylvania Morning Call formally endorsed Barack Obama in today's Sunday edition, citing "his message of hope and change ...
conveys a vision of the nation's future that is in tune with the tenor and consensus of most Americans."
He has set himself apart by enunciating a vision of a different America, one that people recognize as resting on the nation's founding principles. His vision calls upon ''the better angels of our nature'' just as Abraham Lincoln did in 1861.
Sen. Obama offers that vision to a nation that, like President Lincoln's, is divided. It is not about to set out on a literal civil war, but Republican and Democrat, young and old, conservative and liberal have much to fight about and are at each other's throats with little provocation. Finding common ground is the key, and Sen. Obama is better able to do that ...
Then, there is his ability to inspire. It starts with his unmatched oratorical skills. His speech in Philadelphia on March 18 about race in America will join the greatest speeches in this nation's history in future textbooks on that topic. The combination of his scholarship, career experience and personal style leaves listeners at first rapt and then inspired. His oratory soars because he has a desire to listen to and represent all Americans ...
... Leadership also depends on having a vision, plans to pursue that vision, and an ability to inspire others to follow. On those grounds, Sen. Barack Obama is well-suited to lead, and The Morning Call recommends his nomination in the Democratic primary.
