Fareed Zakaria has just announced that he is voting for Barack Obama. At the conslusion of his show GPS on CNN the essayist and commentator made a serious analysis of the strengths and wekanesses of both candidates. His conclusion is that Senator Obama is the candidate of the future. Maybe we can use this as an open thread on endorsements?
In this election cycle endorsements can have an impact on those still undecided because one of the central issues in the race is the readiness of Barack Obama to take on the presidency. So Colin Powell, Fareed Zakaria, the newspapers, Smerconish, the other Republicans and Independents...all lend credibility that says...it is ok, Obama can do the job.
