NP: Nikka Costa, Pebble To A Pearl

The Chicago Tribune has endorsed a Democrat. Quibbling just a bit, they had this to say about Joe Biden:

Obama chose a more experienced and more thoughtful running mate--he put governing before politicking. Sen. Joe Biden doesn't bring many votes to Obama, but he would help him from day one to lead the country.

I disagree. I think Biden is helping Obama a lot in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida, and among Catholics. On the other hand, they said what I've been saying a lot lately, which is this:

We do, though, think Obama would govern as much more of a pragmatic centrist than many people expect.

Add this one to the L.A. Times -- who apparently haven't endorsed anybody in thirty years, and the Washington Post. Watching the next bunch of polls should be interesting, because while the conventional wisdom is that newspaper endorsements don't mean much, the conventional wisdom this time around has been that the conventional wisdom is often wrong.
