Obama has been offering concrete programs and ideas. Most of McCain's
efforts lately have focused on offering reasons why Obama is not a good
choice. In other words, Obama has been looking forward while McCain has gone negative. ... Yes, Obama is untested when compared with McCain. But given the choice between John McCain or Barack Obama, the question is who would be best for America. Most of the editorial board members felt the best choice is Barack Obama.

The Las Vegas Sun endorsed Obama on Oct. 19:
As Americans consider who should be the next president, it is clear that we
are at a crossroads. Americans are looking for someone who not only has a
steady hand and is a consensus builder, but who also is a strong leader and who has faith in the greatness of what our nation has to offer even in these most trying of times. We believe that man is Barack Obama.

The Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader endorsed Obama on Oct. 19:
Even if this country were not in dire need of a new direction, Sen. Barack
Obama would make a better president than Sen. John McCain.
McCain's one advantage, experience, is of little use without judgment and
temperament. On both counts, Obama has shown himself to be better qualified.
Obama has been composed, consistent and honorable through a long and tricky campaign, which he has led almost flawlessly.

La Opinión, El Diario NY Endorse Obama
La Opinión, El Diario/La Prensa, Editorial, Staff, Posted: Oct 18, 2008
Editor's Note: "Necessary Change" was the headline on the front page of New York's Spanish-language newspaper El Diario/La Prensa Friday, above a photo of a smiling Barack Obama. The newspaper, together with fellow impreMedia-owned La Opinión in Los Angeles, published an editorial endorsing Obama for president.
The United States is at a crossroads. The country needs a different vision
and a new focus to the problems that have been dragging on for decades.
Barack Obama is the right person to begin a new cycle of renewal as
President of the United States.
The events that have transpired over the course of this campaign, the issues that have come up, together with his actions, reinforce the belief that Obama is the right leader for our time. The background of the Democratic
Senator from Illinois, his policy proposals and his conduct make it plain
that he has the character to take the reins of the nation.
Obama personifies the change this country needs. He has demonstrated that he is a different kind of Democrat, one with a profound social conscience, one who values the role of the individual as agent of change. Obama’s platform is practical, recognizing that there are no magical solutions, and that we will need the commitment and efforts of all of us.
