The New York Times Endorses ...

NOT Barack Obama.

Seriously. I thought they would. A lot of us analyst types thought they would.

But they endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain. (This will no doubt not help McCain.)


The potential upside of a great Obama presidency is enticing, but this country faces huge problems, and will no doubt be facing more that we can’t foresee. The next president needs to start immediately on challenges that will require concrete solutions, resolve, and the ability to make government work. Mrs. Clinton is more qualified, right now, to be president.
