The rumors that General Colin Powell was going to endorse Mr. Obama have been around for some time. This morning I turned on the TV to hear it but, half asleep, I missed "it" ... until now ... the endorsement is so well reasoned and thoughtful ... and it represents a standpoint and a way of looking at this American way of life that demands to be heard.

ENDORSEMENTS, LA TIMES, OBAMA
I know I can write; I know how to give a speech but do I ever wish I could have written this. So take a few minutes and read the Los Angeles Times' endorsement for Senator Obama ... it matches Mr. Obama in elegance while not avoiding the "Palin choice" or the challenges that a "President" Obama must face.
It is just a wonderful thing to read, in and of itself ... it ends by saying: We may one day look back on this presidential campaign in wonder. We may marvel that Obama's critics called him an elitist, as if an Ivy League education were a source of embarrassment, and belittled his eloquence, as if a gift with words were suddenly a defect. In fact, Obama is educated and eloquent, sober and exciting, steady and mature. He represents the nation as it is, and as it aspires to be.
Or you can follow the endorsements here on Editor and Publisher which reported today: BARACK OBAMA,
64 newspapers total, well over 8 million circulation (we are still counting); JOHN McCAIN, 18 newspapers total, about 1.7 million daily circulation.

ENDORCEMENTS, PALIN AND yarddog...
"The Washington Post, in its endorsement of Senator Obama this morning, cited Sarah Palin presence on the Republican ticket as one of its reasons."
I can't imagine that this will not be the only endorsement that will raise the Palin question. Now, I assume that Ms. Palin is a good person, but she is not Vice Presidential material. McCain in making that decision; pandering to the radical right wing of his party and his erratic behavior since his campaign begun makes this one voter question the kind of decisions that McCain will make as president.
I know it does not come as any surprise that I have already voted, by mail, for Mr. Obama.
