"From Derangement It's A Small Step To Madness"

In contrast to the increasingly intolerable WaPo editorial page (soon to be renamed the L Street Journal?), we have the NY Times, now 100% Wee Willie free. In particular, see today's op/ed by Frank Rich, taking on the potential for hubris in the Obama Administration and Villager fickleness, and the crystallizing of the Rethugs into a rump party of angry crackpots and delusionals (the latter nicely summarized by Rich).

NY Times Endorses Obama

It was inevitable, but good to see nonetheless. In a lengthy editorial this morning, the NY Times endorsed Sen. Obama. The editorial goes on at length about Obama's superior positions on the economy, national security, health care and many other issues. It praises his steadiness and judgement, as contrasted with McAngry's, who comes in for some major criticism for his ugly campaign, his inconsistency, and his poor judgement in picking Gov. You Betcha as his running mate.

The Times' endorsement of Obama follows the endorsements of a number of major papers: the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Atlanta Constitution, and over 100 others, many of which traditionally lean Rethuglican.
