INDIANAPOLIS, May 2 (UPI) -- The Indianapolis Star Friday endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. over Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., ahead of Tuesday's Indiana's primary elections.

The choice for the Democratic Party's candidate for president, the Star said editorially, is between "a gifted senator from Illinois who has enthused millions of new voters and an equally talented senator from New York with years of high-level experience."

"Experience makes Clinton a better choice, the paper said. Obama's "inexperience in high office is a liability." Cliniton is seen as "well prepared for the rigors of the White House."

"Clinton offers a clear-eyed view of the way things are," the Star said."She offers nuanced positions on how to address the war in Iraq, trade with China and economic expansion. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable."

The editorial praised Obama for offering "an attractive vision for the way things could be. He speaks eloquently of hope and change. He connects with voters, many who formerly felt disenfranchised, on a level few political leaders have attained."

1. Hillary Clinton

is the better choice to be the nominee to run against John McCain. No doubt about it. Go Hillary!! We all support you and will be cheering you on in Indiana and North Carolina! The American people are not stuck on stupid; are not clinging to religion . . . and definitely don't show antipathy to the hard working middle class worker. We know you are on our side 100%; there are millions of us out here cheering you on to victory.

2. Maybe not all of you have read

this prediction by Malcolm McKerras, a psephologist, in one of Rupert Murdoch's newspapers, "The Australian."
He predicted a Kerry win in 04, but he made that prediction before Kerry got swiftboated.
We don't know the future, so it's interesting to read predictions.

repeatedly made major mistakes when they count.
