Indianapolis Star Endorses Clinton
The Indianapolis Star endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president Friday just four days before the Democratic primary in Indiana, praising her “years of high-level experience” as a senator, which have left her “well prepared for the rigors of the White House.”
Editors at the Star, who called Clinton “tough, experienced and realistic,” contrasted her with her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, whose “inexperience in high office is a liability,” they wrote.
“Clinton offers a clear-eyed view of the way things are,” they wrote. “Her depth of knowledge is remarkable.”
The endorsement from the Star, the largest newspaper in Indiana, could be a boon for Clinton, who already leads in polling ahead of Tuesday’s primary.
A RealClearPolitics average of polls released Thursday shows Clinton with a 6 percent lead in Indiana. Clinton has been gaining momentum since her victory in the Pennsylvania primary April 22, which she won by nearly 10 percent.
You Hillary supporters drvie off of false hopes. If she comes within 5 points in NC it is considered a victory and a 1 vote win in IN. is a vicotry.
O’reilly should of stopped the spin the past couple of nights. If you lose a state by 1,2,3,4,5….points it’s a loss, is it not? There is no such thing as a moral victory on either side. Her campaign wants to drag this out to destroy Barack’s chances of getting elected. She has said she is 60 years old and this maybe her only opprotuntiy to run for this office. Well she came up with a new plan that maybe in four years she will be able to. If she destroy’s barack there is no way in Four years the people that would have voted for him will come back and support her.
Fox is doing it best to help Hillary,they pick up the worst polls that favor Clinton to Justify their bias.

Thank you Star. Finally a paper that has the guts to do the right thing. We are all better off with someone we know than someone we would have to find out about in the oval office of the White House. It is hard to believe that people are willing to entrast the most powerful nation in the world to a complete unknown and untested individual, with no family or religious background, that for political purpuses aligned himself and his family, for 20 years, with a church and a minister that hates America and despises everybody but his own kind. If Kerry could be derrailed by the Swift Boaters in 2004, what’s the Wright controverse going to do in 2008? It almost sounds like another plot to ellect a president of “their” choice. Twice they rigged the election, this time they pick an unelegible condidate for us. Very clever.
We don’t want a guy who just knows how to mesmerize an audience but whose inexperience in high office is a liability. We are with you Hilary.
Bravo for Hillary!!!
Larry, I agree Obama is too nice. Putting him in the White House would be like throwing a mouse in with a bunch of bobcats. They would playfully bat him around awhile before eating him alive…Hillary on the other hand is an alley cat with very sharp claws of her own.

The Star has hit the nail on the head. Clinton has a remarkable understanding of the issues that face our country. Some may not agree with her solutions, but no one can argue that she does not show an in depth knowledge of the issues. Great Job.
just a question to the Obama supporters. what is the status quo in washinton that Obama claims he is going to change? i just dont get how people think he can change the so called old politics of washington in 4yrs, what has been in washington for over 200yrs. do any of you think with realistic minds or are you living in fantasy land. why does he hide behind the old politics curtain. i think that it is great that a media outlet has come to there sense’s about how bad Obama is for this country. i guess what i am saying is for someone running a campagin about hope and reuniting the country he is not doing that. as a matter of fact all of the controversy is surronding Obama and not Clinton, i wonder why that is. im glad this race has lasted as long as it has because you would not have heard all of this stuff about Obama. which is more then likely the truth. im sorry i tend to believe his pastor about what he say’s about Obama, im sure it is true after all he has believed him for more then 20yrs.
the tide is turning, go hillary! we need solutions, and hillary has them. the economy of the 90’s was great under the first president clinton, she can turn this economy around. vote hillary 08!
Valecia, I am with you all the way. I too am concerned, this goes to show you that we have to choose our words carefully. Hillary is too quick to do what ever it takes to win this election and sometimes doesn’t think before opening her mouth. While I know that most people who blog here are Hillary supporters why can’t you just admit when she says something wrong. That does not mean that you don’t support her just that she is wrong on this. What are we suppose to do start another war when we haven’t finished the one we are in. Come on people how many more Americans have to die? I don’t think we are going to see her or her daugher on the front lines. That’s why she lost my vote. I will never vote for someone who is so willing to take us into another war.
Obama ‘08
