The New York Times editorial board has endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain.



Does anybody pay any attention to News Papers in this way?
Hillary didn't surprise me because that side of things seems a complete 50/50 toss up.  But why wouldn't New York support its own hero?

I don't pay attention, I vote on the issues.

I don't like anyone telling me what to do, say, endorse, etc.

I pay attention but it doesn't really have too much affect on my decision ... I was going to vote Clinton 08 anyways ...

"...why wouldn't New York support its own hero?"
New Yorkers hate that Guilianni . . . they already had to live under that lying, corrupt, divorce-aholic champion of family values . . .

Who cares who the owner of the NY Times endorses anymore? ...And is anyone really surprised?

Not surprised but disappointed because I do think there are a lot of folks who are influenced by endorsements.
Crystal R. Jan 25, 2008, 11:09am EST
These endorsements do not influence my vote and I hope that it does not influence others vote. I think that people should vote on the issues and who they think will be the best leader for the United States.

I stopped taking the papers seriously a long time ago.

The New York Times does not have the same cache it used to.
Anna D. Jan 25, 2008, 12:50pm EST
I am more intelligent than to pay attention to who endorse who ... Who cares... lol

Maybe they realize their hero isn't actually a hero.
Cheryl W. Jan 25, 2008, 1:42pm EST
I could care less who endorses who. I vote for who I want to based on the issues.
TK Rosevear Jan 25, 2008, 1:45pm EST
I'm with Cheryl, newspapers have absolutely no basis for my vote - just the issues they "SAY" they are for or against.

Did you know the first governor of New York was George Clinton???? hmmmmm

I imagine this was a big disappointment for Rudi. McCain seems to be catching fire.
David C. Jan 25, 2008, 5:12pm EST
Rudy is using this non-endorsement as a badge of honor. It's not the first time the NYT slapped him around a bit.

PJS, I dunno.....

I love the coupons in papers!!

McCain promises more war:

Armageddon Is Near!


He ain't getting my vote!
