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.

Obama is totally unknown person. I believe what Wright says about him. He is just a politician. He thinks he is very smart. He has solutions to all the problems. He will be the worst President, if he gets elected.
Why the hell did he not disown Wright the day he learnt about his comments? Do you really expect us to believe that for 20 years, you did not know about his comments. People like Wright have no right to stay in this country. They should be cannonballed into the sea despite freedom of speech.
If knew then what we know now about Obama he would be done long time ago!!!
He is just a joke!
He shouldn’t be in the senate also!!!
Thank you Doung, Tampa!!
I could not agree more, Obama is a single man and while the message of change etc has drawn people - albeit people who do not understand history or politics; there is absolutely no way he alone through charisma can “change” politics - anywhere.
We really need leaders who have a deep understanding of the issues we face and concepts and ideas of how we can address them. Clinton offers this much more so than Obama can. Without his preaches, I mean speeches run over a teleprompter he has a difficult time. His delivery is excellent, but we really need more than that - we need someone who can think on her feet for our country….. Thanks Hillary and Indianopolis Star
Christine Do you really think any of the candidates is going to pull troops out of Iraq? Obama, Clinton and Mc Cain all get the same briefings from the NSA. Our troops are going to be there for years. The number of troops will go down over time but we will be present in Iraq. Any candidate that say different is lying. So you just keep drinking that old obama kool aid and keep living in fantasy a land.
Thank you The Star! Finally people are realizing how strong, intellegent and experienced s Hillary Clington is, she is a STAR!
Please do your homework. Read Partners in Power, Hillary and Bill Clinton by Roger Morris, award winning journalist.
Oh get over yourselves Obamamites. Iran is itching for a fight, they want Obama cause all he’ll do is talk. Obama is not squeeky clean. He is new to the scene so nobody has the chance to dig into his “closet” yet. The phrase that is bandied around a lot is “if it sounds too good to be true then chances are it isn’t”, applies 100% to Obama.
Go Hillary Go! If you don’t get the nomination, your supporters will put our country first before our party and vote for McCain. Go Hillary, Go USA!
Frankly, it is a relief to read a comment on a political candidate that doesn’t swirl around personality. One would think that the electorate lacks intelligence or insight. Hooray for factual statements.
Obama has made no effort to change Washington since he has been a US Senator, one he wasn’t there a lot of the time and two he didn’t make any effort to work with people across the aisle, so please tell me how you think he will change Washington since he is part of the current old Washington politics.
