NY Times endorses Obama

For those who cling to calling the MSM and the NY Times part of the "elite liberal media" (hello, Fox News), this will come as no surprise: the NY Times editorial board has endorsed Barack Obama for President. To those of us who've followed the Times throughout the campaign, it represents a change in the paper's position. They backed Hillary Clinton and John McCain in the New York primaries, and McCain has, up until a few weeks ago, a strong relationship with the paper of record. 

From the endorsement:

(L)eading America forward, will require strength of will, character and intellect, sober judgment and a cool, steady hand. . . Mr. Obama has those qualities in abundance.
