The Dallas Morning News newspaper endorsed Obama in 2008.

Why they endorsed her now:

"A better choice not because he’s too liberal to win in November, though he is. She’s better because over her lifetime, Clinton has learned to temper her idealism without losing it. She’s learned to advance her agenda even when it means letting others advance too. She’s cultivated allies.

Such lessons came hard for her, as they usually do. As first lady, she led President Bill Clinton’s push for universal health care. Imperious and uncompromising, she failed spectacularly.

But Clinton kept fighting. She salvaged health care for poor children before it was over. And when, in 2001, she was sworn in as New York’s junior senator, she faced enormous hostility. Six years later, she left with a reputation for bipartisanship, hard work and effectiveness.

She fought hard, some say too hard, in 2008 to beat Barack Obama in the same Democratic primaries. After a bruising loss, she showed humility and joined his administration as secretary of state."
