They really do work hard.  They listen well and they endorse the one who earns their vote of confidence.

my favorite part heh even they know the gas tax is nothing but pander

Clinton regrettably has pandered more to voters, particularly on gas prices, than Obama. Both have taken stands on free trade that give in to protectionism.

Clinton also was an integral part of her husband's political machine, which earned a reputation for flattening opponents. That factor understandably gives many voters pause about whether another Clinton should serve as president.

Newspaper endorsements don't really buy a great deal of votes, but they are still a nice thing to have in your pocket. This is more good news for Hillary in Indiana

N/T

I've always said -- experience over style.  Clinton reminds me of Harry Truman -- plain speaking.  

This is great endorsement.  The Obama surrogates are having no affect on IN voters because they don't buy the slick act that put together for Obama.

I wonder if DailyKos' head exploded yet?  I don't go on the blog anymore, so it must be getting crazy over there.  Barry's mask is slipping...

Cant spell potatoe without the Indy Star.

She EARNED IT!  wOOOT!

It's a good endorsement, although they do say she's pandering.

Very happy about the Indy Star endorsement. Thanks for posting this, NH!

The right choice!

with the Star, it was pretty much impossible not choose her after that performance.

Did anyone else see the live feed of her sit-down with the editorial board? Is it stored somewhere?

On either side of MyDD?

Remember they had one that included FLA and MI on one side of the page and one that didn't on the other side.

I guess both sides got to depressing to look at around here huh?

Go Obama!

You skipped my favorite parts!

You know!  The part where they call her out for pandering:

Clinton regrettably has pandered more to voters, particularly on gas prices, than Obama.

OOOH!  And the part where they make the logical leap from "threats from Iran" to endorsing the candidate who makes those threats back AT Iran, thus helping to ensure higher oil costs and future unnecessary wars.  No, not McCain.  Not Bush or Cheney, either.  The OTHER person who does that...Hillary!  Because when you're about to start your third war, don't you want a leader who has the experience of voting for one, before?

Take that Obama supporters

Tangent:

Hillary is live on CNN
http://www.cnn.com/video/live/live.html? stream=stream2

And it's a GREAT appearance.  She's talking to a crowd of moms and has gotten very personal with stories and anecdotes of raising Chelsea.  She has had the moms laughing almost non-stop.

I've never seen this much personal side of Hillary.

"threats from Iran -- are complex."

But the solution is simple, per Hillary: OBLITERATE IRAN.  So let's all endorse Hillary!!!

With this kind of candidate analysis coming from the Indianapolis Star, we can really count on them to deliver accurate news and analysis.

So big frakkin deal.

At this point, she'll take any endorsement.  She's got nothing left to lose.

The editors of the Indianapolis Star apperently have forgotten the long list of lies, corruption and scandals that have tainted the Clintons since they teamed up 38 years ago. Well, let us rimind them of a few:

--Her alleged brilliance.  Truth is that she flunked her D.C. bar exam, and her career was going nowhere until she teamed up with Bill.  Without him, she would have ended up a obscure bureaucrat, if that.

--Her fake accomplishments.  Not only did she not dodge sniper fire in Bosnia, but she never brokered a peace treaty or figured in any official diplomatic negotiations.  Her role as First Lady was merely ceremonial, no different from that of Roslyn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush or any of her predecessors.  

--Her false feminism.  Rather to take Bill to task for his compulsive philandering, she retained a detective to dig up dirt on the women seduced.

--Her disdain for the military.  At White House parties she used Marines in dress uniform as waiters and busboys.  

--Her abusive behavior.  She routinely cussed out her staff and rebuked underlings who dared make eye-contact with her.

--Her arrogance, backstabbing and inability to work with others.  That so many former Clinton officials and associates have broken with her--Dick Morris, Bill "Judas" Richardson, Federico Peña, Robert Reich, to name some; that so many ranking Democrats in Congress--Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, John Kerry, John Lewis--don't trust her; that even the former V.P. under Bill Clinton is reluctant to endorse her--all that speaks for itself.  

--Her  weak congressional record.  Of the 20 bills she introduced and managed to get passed in her eight year as U.S. Senator, 16 were for inconsequential stuff like honoring individuals, naming post offices and courthouses, and congratulating lacrosse teams.

--The criminal connection. The Clintons business and political dealings with some 40 individuals and groups subsequently convicted of various crimes, Bills brother, Roger included.   Their ties with the "Dixie Mafia" in Arkansas.

--The dubious cattle futures profit,  Though she had no prior experience in futures trading, Hillary once  managed to parlay a $1,000 investment into $100,000 in less than a year, an unheard of feat in the legitimate investment world.

--Whitewatergate.  A crooked real estate scheme that went sour when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas.  Though the Clintons were legally cleared, there was ample evidence that they were involved.  

--Travelgate.  Ordering a trumped-up FBI investigation on seven long-time employees of the White House travel office, Hillary fired them to give the jobs to friends.  

--Chinagate.  Bill received generous contributions from Chinese operatives--later convicted as felons--in exchange for help in easing restrictions on the sale of technological equipment to China.  

i--The punitive IRS audits.  The Clintons routinely ordered IRS audits of organizations and individuals critical of them.  

Filegate.   Hillary gained improper access to FBI files on some 700 individuals for political blackmail.  

--Pardongate..   Before leaving office, Bill pardoned 140 convicted felons, most of whom had contributed to his political campaigns..

--The sudden wealth  The Clintons left the White House saddled with huge debts, yet in less than a year they resurfaced  as multimillionaires.  

--The Impeachment.  Bill Clinton was the first elected president in U.S. history, and only the second, to be impeached.  Was acquitted by the Senate by a narrow vote of 55 to 45.

--The disbarments.  Bill Clinton was disbarred by from trying cases in Federal Courts, and  lost his license to practice law in Arkansas.

. --The body count.   During the Clinton regimes in Washington and Arkansas,  some 50+ persons suffered untimely deaths by murder, suicide, accidents and unexplained causes.

If the Clintons are the kind of leaders that major newspapers endorse and their uninformed readers slavishly embrace,  then God help America.
