NY Times Endorses McCain

Primary Choices: John McCain
"We have strong disagreements with all the Republicans running for president. The leading candidates have no plan for getting American troops out of Iraq. They are too wedded to discredited economic theories and unwilling even now to break with the legacy of President Bush. We disagree with them strongly on what makes a good Supreme Court justice.
Still, there is a choice to be made, and it is an easy one. Senator John McCain of Arizona is the only Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry fringe...

it sure lacked passion.
As someone who lives in NYC and almost has their head fall off everyday reading their editorials and writes letters constantly (yet never are published and all pro liberal ones tend to be) I have to say I would never want any Republican to receive their endorsement,
That said I still support McCain but it shows just how out of touch this elite liberal paper is
than the NEA endorsement hurt Huckabee.
Not even out the first paragraph and they say this:
"They are too wedded to discredited economic theories"
Did I miss something, low interest rates and full employment are a bad thing? So I guess the Carter years where 'da bomb'?
Anyway, it gets worse from there, but given the loony left ideas, if you had to pick a Republican that fit them best, McCain makes sense.
I actually thought it was a really hatchet job on Rudy but Rudy should wear that as bade of honor
look all that much better. They know he beat them like a drum for 8 years as mayor and he'll do it for 8 more as President.
The $64 question is why McCain? Oh yeah. He's one of them.

Certainly not to my surprise, McCain wins the 'furthest left in the field' award, also known as the NY Times endorsement.

Finrod's First Law of Bandwidth:
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it takes the bandwidth of ten thousand.
How very appropriate. And quite the little repugnant endorsement, as well. An endorsement by such a paper should speak loudly to conseratives to turn the other way.
If I were Senator McCain, I'd decline this endorsement. But he won't.
