Newspapers for Obama (even the conservative ones)

Today three imporant newspapers endorsed Barack Obama for president.

The Chicago Tribune has never endorsed a democratic nominee before.  (The Chicago Sun Times is the liberal Chicago paper).  Today they support Barack Obama.

The Los Angeles Times has not endorsed a nominee since Nixon in 1972, but endorsed Obama today.  It has also never supported a democrat in the past.

And the Washington Post, which is THE paper for politics.

Why did the Tribune support Obama and not McCain?  Because McCain is not a conservative.  He is a social conservative, but his spending and foreign policy are much more LBJ than Ronald Reagan.  Plain and simple.  As Andrew Sullivan has said many times, we need to purge the neo-cons forever and defeating McCain will accomplish that.

I'm not surprised. McCain isn't totally Conservative but I can live with him.
