Obama offers an attractive vision for the way things could be. He speaks eloquently of hope and change. He connects with voters, many who formerly felt disenfranchised, on a level few political leaders have attained.
Clinton offers a clear-eyed view of the way things are. She offers nuanced positions on how to address the war in Iraq, trade with China and economic expansion. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable.
As impressive as Obama appears, he is still in his first term in the U.S. Senate, and only four years ago was serving as an Illinois state senator. His inexperience in high office is a liability.
Clinton, in contrast, is well prepared for the rigors of the White House. She is tough, experienced and realistic about what can and cannot be accomplished on the world stage.(...)
(...)Yet, one thing is clear: The next commander in chief will take office at a time of extraordinary risk for this nation, both at home and abroad. The challenges -- including those posed by a sagging economy, rising energy and food costs, the gap in health care, wars in two countries and threats from Iran -- are complex.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is the better choice, based on her experience and grasp of major issues, to confront those challenges. She earns The Star's endorsement in Tuesday's primary.

Thanks for the morning dose. I did not see the endorsement by the "Star" on any of the TV channels I watched today. However, it does seem that TV carries all the endorsements of Obama.
I wonder if they would have endorsed her if she had made this statement BEFORE the Indiana primary!!
Hillary Rodham Clinton: "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
End of quote:
I'm assuming that if you're not a "working, hard working American, WHITE AMERICAN", you must be one of the non-working, goofing off black or Hispanic Americans. Of course, we have West Virginia and kentucky primaries next, two of the whitest, poorest states in America. I'm sure Hillary will find some way to blame her comments on Obama. Her statement is doubly sad considering the fuss she made over Obama's bitter comments!!
