Tomorrow morning, Nevada's largest newspaper will headline their endorsement of...Barack Obama.

[calteacherguy]

It's only a small blurb on the paper's website, but it's an important one: The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada's biggest newspaper, will endorse Obama in tomorrow's edition, the paper announced tonight.

"In Wednesday's Review-Journal, the editorial board recommends Democrats in the Saturday caucuses support the candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama," the paper says on its website. "The board notes he is the most viable of the remaining candidates for the party."

Obama's campaign, which has already won the backing of the powerful Las Vegas-based Culinary Workers Union, certainly welcomes the boost heading into the Democrats' third major contest Saturday.

7. Aren't you inspired to see a candidate who can cut through partisanship and attract wide support?

9. Doubt it ..on Jan. 11 .....LAS VEGAS STOP: Clinton pitch hits home

Santana said, "We are going to do everything we can to make sure that everyone in Las Vegas votes for you."

That is the warm, earnest, human side of campaigning, politicians comforting people with detailed explanations of how they will solve their problems and flattering them with their presence.

There was nobody who didn't know who the Democratic presidential candidate and former first lady was, even if they didn't speak English or weren't old enough to vote. They flocked to her for camera-phone pictures, and she posed in tableaux of adorable multicultural children.

Doesn't sound too conservative to me, especially now that they have changed their tune to ANOTHER progressive candidate.

3. They have such a good record.

The genius of American democracy has somehow done it again. George Bush is the right president at the right time. The economy is making significant strides post 9-11 and Mr. Bush has sketched out a second-term domestic agenda that would move the nation firmly back toward sound free-market principles. He is far more likely to appoint judges with a crucial respect for freedom, the free market, prosperity and property rights.

At this moment in history, when a cowardly and increasingly desperate enemy that beheads the defenseless and murders innocent women and children is finally on the run -- an enemy allowed to fester and gather strength through eight years of Democratic procrastination -- now is not the time to turn tail and give the gibbering mullahs time to rebuild their strength.

A great man is not a perfect man, but rather a man who finds the strength to overcome his own flaws, and then to lead others to unlikely triumph over great adversity and great odds. There is only one man in this presidential race who holds in his hands a vision and a hope for resurgent American greatness and triumph.

President George W. Bush.

4. Wow. That makes the endorsement even more significant if he won them over!

Gobama!

6. Nah. They'd endorse Bush again if the powers that be told them to endorse him.

If you want change, Obama isn't going to be your fix.

5. What strikes me most when endorsements roll in is the diversity of ideology.

It underscores Barack's belief that people across the board can come together to get sh*t done. Really spectacular in my opinion in spite of efforts no doubt to paint it otherwise.

8. That + his debate performance tonight + the caucus lawsuit scandal

May just have wrapped up Nevada for Obama.

10. That's great. And the voters will speak in the voting booth.

When they get a chance to vote.
