Editorial: Newsday endorses Clinton

February 3, 2008

...It's a difficult decision, but in the end, we choose experience. Clinton has been an outstanding senator for this state and this Island. She's intelligent, hard-working, tough, passionate and has an enthusiasm for the important nuances of complex policy. Newsday endorses Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.

The contest between Clinton and Obama should not be diminished by the game of identity politics, however much their ardent supporters care about the possibility of the first African-American or female president. What matters at this critical time in our history is what each would bring to the job. While both are strong candidates, Clinton is better prepared to deal with the challenges the next president will confront.

When she launched her bid for the Senate in 2000, Newsday was skeptical. Indeed, we endorsed her Republican opponent. But Clinton tirelessly and carefully listened to the people of New York State. No gathering or concern was too small. In the Senate, she has worked hard and created a centrist record and bipartisan solutions. We endorsed her heartily in her re-election bid in 2006. Those traits - hard work, smarts, bipartisanship, pragmatism and bulldog determination - are important for the next president....

13. he likes her personality, as does everyone

But when it comes to policies, he knows which candidate will be easier to control.

14. Ahahahahahahahaha.

She's just so damn likable, eh? Which is why she has the highest personal unlikability scores of any candidate, right? Which is why she's famously divisive, right?

Why worry about "controlling" Obama when Hillary will work alongside him?

[bidenista]

19. actually, her negatives and obama's are pretty close

Anyway, I can only speak for myself: I like her!

11. Nice smear try, but no

Newsday is owned by the Tribune Company, which also runs the LA Times, Baltimore Sun, and others.

12. No, they are Tribune company

IIRC. It's not a big surprise that they endorsed Hillary. She's the home state candidate.
