Sarah Palin is hot right now, and considering she's the governor of Alaska, that's not easy to pull off. In recent months, the national media have been giving Palin a lot of ink as a potential running mate for John McCain, with conjecture and endorsements coming from such outlets as The New York Times, the American Spectator and USA Today.
Notes, quotes and anecdotes about Tuesday's election while wondering: If Sarah Palin hates the media elite so much, why did she major in journalism and become one of us? Endorsements box score -- According to Editor & Publisher, U.S. newspapers' presidential endorsements -- as of Friday -- included 240 for Barack Obama and 114 for John McCain. In total circulation, it was about 21 million for Obama and about 7 million for McCain.
Across America, dozens of newspapers - including some traditional Republican ones - are endorsing Democrat Barack Obama for president. Editor & Publisher magazine says the trend is 3 to 1 in Obama's favor, with 51 endorsements for him (by papers totaling 6.3 million circulation), compared to just 16 for GOP nominee John McCain (by papers with 1.5 million subscribers). The Chicago Tribune, long a Republican bastion, made history by backing a Democrat for its very first time (see below). The paper declared: "We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigor, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions. He is ready.
DES MOINES (AP) - Two Iowa newspapers announced endorsements Sunday, offering their support for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican John McCain. The Hawk Eye in Burlington and Quad-City Times in Davenport reached the same conclusions.
SIMI VALLEY - Sen. John McCain solidified his front-runner status for the Republican nomination Wednesday, sparring with an aggressive Mitt Romney in a feisty debate at the Reagan Library and securing key bicoastal endorsements from Rudy Giuliani and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. In a debate dominated by attacks and counterattacks between McCain and chief rival Romney, McCain appeared to take the upper hand.
In 2007 [John McCain] told the Boston Globe, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." He has acknowledged that economics is not his strong suit. So he turned to people he has called "real strong economic minds"-people like Phil Gramm-for advice. Gramm was McCain's campaign co-chair and top economic adviser until he was forced to resign for his "this is a mental recession" and "we've become a nation of whiners" remarks. Gramm, the former Texas senator who pushed banking deregulation as chair of the Senate Banking Committee and then left for (surprise!) a top banking job, engineered the deregulated system that has fostered much of our current banking/housing meltdown. Deregulation and corporate consolidation also produced the savings and loan debacle,...
Sen. John McCain will not accept public campaign financing for the primary election - freeing him from spending limits through September and giving him a chance to compete with his Democratic opponent. The Arizona senator, who's on pace to effectively lock down the Republican nomination in today's Potomac primaries, also picked up some high-profile endorsements yesterday.
Big days came often during the fall and winter in Meg Whitman's campaign to win this year's Republican nomination for governor of California. Or at least, there have been days that seemed to mean a lot to the campaign, which spread press releases across the landscape like a paper rainstorm. They were about endorsements. The biggest Whitman day came when she won the nod of U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the former Republican presidential candidate who's never had much luck winning votes on this side of the state line. The endorsement of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was also big for Whitman; never mind that his endorsements of candidates like Bill Simon and Matt Fong didn't help them much when they ran for governor and U.S. senator. Whitman also won over former Los Angeles Mayor...
Even more telling is the renewed front-runner status of Republican John McCain and President Bush's call for a $145 million stimulus package for the ailing economy. Though nobody but the most hateful and venomous of the right could ever label Bush and McCain as "liberals" both men share one thing in common: they do not support the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants from this country or the complete moratorium on those from other cultures and races entering the United States - like say the way former GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo called for before being soundly ousted by Republican primary voters early in the contest. Enthusiasm for [Barack Obama] and [Hillary Clinton] have drawn record numbers of new voters into the process. You can see it in the faces of the young st...

Sorry, Dad, I'm voting for [Barack Obama]," wrote Christopher Buckley, son of the late conservative thinker and founder of the highly influential National Review William F. Buckley, on "The Daily Beast" blog last week. Like [Colin Powell], he also expressed great disappointment with the "mean-spirited and pointless" attacks the [John McCain] campaign has mounted against Obama in its campaign. About [Sarah Palin]'s nomination, Buckley asked, "What on earth can he have been thinking? Those tactics and Palin's nomination have also provoked strong complaints - if not yet Obama endorsements - from other prominent figures on the right, including conservative nationally syndicated columnist George Will and even some of his neo-conservative colleagues, such as the Washington Post's Charles Kr...
