Nice.<BR/><BR/>Also, no great surprise, but the Times is endorsing Obama; here's a bit of the thoughtful, thorough <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/opinion/24fri1.html" REL="nofollow">piece</A>:<BR/><BR/>"This country needs sensible leadership, compassionate leadership, honest leadership and strong leadership. Barack Obama has shown that he has all of those qualities."<BR/><BR/>Oh, and in case you missed it, the New Yorker also recently ran a nice <A HREF="http://www.newyorker.com/talk/comment/2008/10/13/081013taco_talk_editors" REL="nofollow">endorsement</A>, which concluded as follows:<BR/><BR/><I>The election of Obama—a man of mixed ethnicity, at once comfortable in the world and utterly representative of twenty-first-century America—would, at a stroke, reverse our country’s image abroad and refresh its spirit at home. His ascendance to the Presidency would be a symbolic culmination of the civil- and voting-rights acts of the nineteen-sixties and the century-long struggles for equality that preceded them. It could not help but say something encouraging, even exhilarating, about the country, about its dedication to tolerance and inclusiveness, about its fidelity, after all, to the values it proclaims in its textbooks. At a moment of economic calamity, international perplexity, political failure, and battered morale, America needs both uplift and realism, both change and steadiness. It needs a leader temperamentally, intellectually, and emotionally attuned to the complexities of our troubled globe. That leader’s name is Barack Obama.</I>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280053661380045494noreply@blogger.com
