Extension of Remarks: Obama for president
Today The Buffalo News leads off its political endorsements for the 2008 general election. We start at the top, backing Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois for president of the United States.
If Americans want a future where our leaders respond to
challenges with judgment and principle, rather than panic
and rashness, they will elect Barack Obama president. We
recommend they do so.
In addition to the text of the editorial, we also provide table of information weighing positions and characteristics of each candidate, indicating which of them we feel has the proper position or superior attribute. The same will be provided as we offer more endorsements in other federal, state and local election decisions over the next several days.
Endorsements by The News editorial board are intended to aid voters in their own evaluations of those seeking office. Whether you agree or disagree with our recommendations, we urge you to vote and take part in our democratic process.
