Andrew Sullivan reports that the "real America" Idaho Statesman 'is the latest right-leaning paper to endorse Obama. One critical reason? When picking a running mate,' Obama did not choose an inexperienced, vicious airhead from North Bumfuck who jumped into the national political scene lying her ignorant, hateful ass off.
The Idaho Statesman on the Obama statesmanship:
[W]e cannot dismiss what we have seen and heard during the long job interview that is a presidential campaign. Obama has earned our trust and our support.
When picking a running mate, Obama made a solid choice, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware. Biden gives an Obama administration a seasoned hand on foreign policy and a 36-year Capitol Hill veteran. For all the seductive campaign rhetoric about the value of an "outsider," the reality is that Obama is helped by having a running mate who can deliver results.
McCain countered with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who energized the GOP's conservative base and wowed many Americans with her speech at the Republican convention. Since then, though, the [repulsive, knuckledragging ignoramus] has not convincingly shown she is ready for the White House.

Though she is ready for a position on a Faux Nooze morning show.
McCain made a splashy but impulsive pick designed to court voters. Obama made a smart pick designed to build an effective governing team.
The editorial also goes on to say that while McThuselah certainly has experience, Sen. Obama offers something more. Something that doesn't involve kissing Drinky the Disasterhole's stupid chimpy ass for the past eight years.
[T]he Illinois Democrat has shown American voters something more subtle, but something more important. He has demonstrated the superior intellect and the calm command our nation needs now.
This is incredibly awesome. We may actually be seeing the start of people* finally saying "we have had enough."
*Actual humans, not the monobrowed, barely-sapient dittomonkeys that make up freetardia, anyway.

i think "we'll start to say we've had enough" when we abandon the corporate-sponsored candidates and vote third party. Obama and mccain are both corporatists; they're merely arguing over which path is best to take us all to hell.
Agreed.
Nothing changes when you vote for candidates that represent the current paradigm.
Yep
