The New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton about 10 days ago and, in my view, missed an opportunity to surpass the essential stodginess of the establishment. Since then, the LA Times, Philly Inquirer and many other papers have endorsed Barack Obama.
Now, however, Andrew Rosenthal, the editorial page editor - that is, the guy in charge, after the publisher - wrote this "editorial comment" after he attended an Obama rally in California where Maria Shriver, Oprah, Carolyn Kennedy and Michelle Obama talked up Obama. Rosenthal said it was the "best campaign rally" he'd ever seen.
Is someone at the NYT having second thoughts?
McCain is obviously going to win the GOP nomination; Romney is just too fakey. But I'm going to revise my thinking that an insurgent candidate probably can't win. Obama will win the nomination, because you don't get 16,000 Dems to a rally in Boise, Idaho, for god's sake, unless your campaign is cooking with some serious gas - or is kicking some serious ass.
