With the Texas primary less than a month away, the editorial boards of several major Texas newspapers have formally endorsed Barack Obama.
The San Antonio Express-News wrote:
America needs a president that tries to create unity out of diversity, marshalling all the forces — red, blue or purple — that make this country great. Sen. Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate that offers the best chance to reach that lofty objective.
As the Dallas Morning News explained:
Mr. Obama is our choice because of his consistently solid judgment, poise under pressure and ability to campaign effectively without resorting to the divisive politics of the past.
The Austin American-Statesman says "Yes, Obama Can":
Obama is the best pick Democrats could make. Resolving the big issues confronting the nation requires a leader who can attract support from independents and Republicans. Of the two front runners, only Obama has shown the ability to bring divergent interests together. He did that as a state senator in Illinois and as a U.S. senator in Washington. And he has staked his presidential campaign on doing that in the White House. … His optimism, unifying vision and ability to inspire are the kind of healing balm the country needs at this moment in history.
Finally, Sunday's edition of the El Paso Times wrote:
The El Paso Times recommends that El Pasoans voting in the March 4 Democratic presidential primary cast their votes for Barack Obama. A weary America, tired of the status quo, fed up with business as usual, is longing for a positive change -- and Barack Obama is that change.
