ANCHORAGE, Alaska -The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Sunday after declaring Gov. Sarah Palin "too risky" to be one step away from the Oval Office.

"Like picking (Republican presidential candidate John) McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time," The Daily News said.

The newspaper said Obama "brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand."

The Daily News said since the economic crisis has emerged, McCain has "stumbled and fumbled badly" in dealing with it.

"Of the two candidates, Sen. Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown's root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it," the paper said.

    • I'd definitely clap my hands with glee.

      But seriously folks, it would be hilarious...

      They've got a pretty good hold on Alaska, 5% lead

      But they are starting to lose AZ... only a 2% lead

      What makes the 2% lead better is just YESTERDAY (the 26th) they had a 14% percent lead... HAHAHAHAH

      In AZ, the republicans have lost 12%!!!!!

      WOOPS! So much for McPain!
