Hot on the heels of an Allentown PA paper endorsement, comes an endorsement for Obama from the Scranton Times-Tribune
All of the myriad issues facing the next president of the United States coalesce into a single question: Who can best lead?
For Pennsylvania Democrats, the best answer in the April 22 primary is Barack Obama.
The paper cites Obama's ability to bring new people and a new energy to politics in a way that no other candidate has.
In a nomination campaign that has defied convention, Mr. Obama has energized an entire generation of voters that, for the most part, otherwise had checked out of political participation. That, at least, portends a new approach to governance that can help to dissipate the political miasma that has engulfed Washington at least since the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.
They then go on to cite Hillary Clinton's "lightening rod polarization" that would deepen the nation's divisiveness. But this paragraph says it all for me>
On policy matters, there are more similarities than differences between the candidates. The real difference lies in their likely ability to build the consensus needed to realize their vision. The advantage, in that regard, clearly lies with Mr. Obama.
