Salmon Press Weeklies Endorse Hillary Clinton

by: Tim Ashwell

Wed Dec 12, 2007 at 10:37:01 AM EST


The Salmon Press newspapers, 11 weeklies that reach 7,400 homes from the lakes to the Canadian border, have endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.

The newspapers endorsed Bill Bradley in 2000 and Howard Dean in 2004.

The editorial follows:

Those that don't think experience counts in politics haven't been listening to Sen. Hillary Clinton. The combination of her proven track record and positive vision for America make her our choice in the Democratic primary.

Sen. Clinton earned our admiration as the First Lady and respect as a U.S. senator from New York. Today she's an engaging personality able to unite people behind a common cause regardless of their political affiliations. She hit the Senate floor on the run and she can do the same thing in the White House.

She is sincere and passionate about restoring fiscal responsibility, providing health care to all Americans, protecting the environment, keeping the tax burden off the middle class and earning the faith and trust of the American people.

But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We're confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list.

After all it was during his administration - eight years of peace and prosperity - that Hillary was able to observe, learn and contribute, all at the same time. And though she possesses traits similar to the former president, a great communicator chief among them - the voters of New York State have overwhelmingly validated her abilities - twice.

Sen. Clinton told us she doesn't want our vote just because she's a "woman." She wants our vote because she's the "best." On the Democratic side we agree that she is.

I guess that explains (0.00 / 0)
why the John Edwards Town Hall attended by 300 local residents at Harts Turkey Farm did not get even a paragraph of coverage. And I thought they were a Republican group.

Wow, big shakeup in the numbers. The Dodd boomlet is over, as people start focusing on the candidates most seen as serious contenders. His 14 points drop is almost entirely made up by Edwards and -- more dramatically -- Obama.

There's no doubt Obama is surging in Iowa and elsewhere. Is this increase in support a sign that people are rallying around him as the "anti-Clinton"?

Sorry for the alignment mess.-SGS

Nice endorsement for Hillary Clinton (0.00 / 0)
Glad to see the endorsement was based on issues, experience and her ability to work across party lines.
