Barack Obama's Endorsements: Newspapers, Political Leaders and Celebrities

Apparently, Scott McClellan is back in the spotlight as he appeared on the new CNN show “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News,” that is hosted by comedian and TV personality D.L. Hughley. McClellan had definitely made waves several months back in the spring while the Democratic and GOP primary contests were going on.

Republican vice-presidential nominee, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, is not endorsed by Alaska's largest newspaper, Anchorage Daily News who endorses Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama, "hands-down".

In yet another blow to the McCain-Palin campaign, the Anchorage Daily News, Alaska’s largest daily newspaper, on Sunday endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.

NEW YORK The Obama lead in editorial endorsements this year turned into a landslide, even a rout today, as dozens of additiional papers backed him, compared to the relative handful for McCain.

The Chicago Tribune endorsed Chicago resident Barack Obama — the first time that paper has endorsed a Democratic candidate for president.

Perhaps the biggest symbolic endorsement of all was the Anchorage Daily News, citing the inclusion of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Sen. John McCain's GOP ticket as one reason for endorsing Sen. Obama.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram is the third large Texas daily to endorse Sen. Obama.  Sen. McCain's choice of Gov.  Palin was one reason cited.  However, the paper mostly centered on Obama's ability to reason, engage and keep his cool.

"Alaska's largest newspaper has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for the White House, saying it would be too risky to put the state's Republican governor Sarah Palin just "one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world."

The outpouring of reader response to our endorsement of Barack Obama for president, released on our web site Friday morning and in our newspaper on Sunday, has been overwhelming and, for the most part, highly gratifying. By the time the Red Sox had given up the ghost Sunday evening, more than 1,100 readers had posted responses on the message board accompanying the editorial. Many more had written letters to the editor. Quite a few wrote to me directly. I’m told this flood represents a record -- or something close to it -- for reader response to a piece in The Times.

Here is the list of newspapers endorsing Obama and McCain. McCain may have picked up a few big endorsements like the Chicago Tribune and Columbus Dispatch, but Obama leads endorsements by a huge margin.
