The Register's Endorsement Of Clinton and McCain

McCain:

“Time after time, McCain has stuck to his beliefs in the face of opposition from other elected leaders and the public. He has criticized crop and ethanol subsidies during two presidential campaigns in Iowa. He bucked his party and president by opposing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. A year ago, in the face of growing criticism, he staunchly supported President Bush’s decision to increase troop strength in Iraq.

Clinton:

Readiness to lead sets her apart from a constellation of possible stars in her party, particularly Barack Obama, who also demonstrates the potential to be a fine president. When Obama speaks before a crowd, he can be more inspirational than Clinton. Yet, with his relative inexperience, it’s hard to feel as confident he could accomplish the daunting agenda that lies ahead.”

Comments

The NYT on Sat. had a feature about how Clinton talked to the Register editor. Check today's front page.

This is the power of the Machine.

Obama is no match to the Machine. I am just a janitor. I feel violently ill.

Well, I'm sure all the candidates made pitches to the Register in one way or another.

Besides, how can you point to this as evidence of "the machine" when Obama got the Globe endorsement mere hours earlier? That news, by the way, lets quite a bit of the air out of the DMR announcement.
