Stop the Presses! CityBeat Backs Obama!

In Section: Politics/Issues » Posted In: 2008 Election Posted By: John Fox

It what might be the least surprising election endorsement since The Enquirer backed every area Republican Congressional incumbent last Sunday, CityBeat today officially endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president. Despite lacking any suspense, believe me when I say the decision to recommend Obama was undertaken seriously and is offered enthusiastically.

I'm honored to be have written the endorsement editorial on behalf of the paper, just as I will be proud and honored to cast my vote for Obama on Nov. 4 (if not before).

This is much, much better than the Ralph Nader endorsement of 2000.

 

Oh yeah, God forbid someone should support Nader who (1) is the only Presidential candidate (yes, he's a candidate) who's calling for a reduction in military spending, and (2) is the only candidate calling for a national, single-payer healthcare system. God forbid that America step out of the 19th century and join the rest of the industrialized world.
