In a move that might pick a Democratic nominee, the Los Angeles Times has "strongly" endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in an editorial that will appear on Sunday, two days before Super Tuesday. The paper also offered a ringing endorsement to John McCain, despite pointing out that it disagreed with him on many issues.
The Democratic race in delegate-rich California has tightened in recent days so the endorsement could be key. It is all the more significant since, as E&P noted two weeks ago, the paper has not endorsed for president since 1972, following the embarrassments of the Nixon years. Here is link with most of editorial and background:
