by Deb Cupples | Today, just two days after the final presidential-candidates debate, the Washington Post endorsed Barack Obama -- starting with the following statements:
"THE NOMINATING process this year produced two unusually talented and qualified presidential candidates. There are few public figures we have respected more over the years than Sen. John McCain. Yet it is without ambivalence that we endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president.
"The choice is made easy in part by Mr. McCain's disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president. It is made easy in larger part, though, because of our admiration for Mr. Obama and the impressive qualities he has shown during this long race.
"Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr. Obama's relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes...."
'Interesting that it comes down to "hopes." Read the rest of WaPo's endorsement here. See Memeorandum for commentary.
