The Charleston Gazette, West Virginia's largest newspaper, endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for president Tuesday.
Gazette editors called Obama a "rare figure in U.S. politics -- a deep thinker who rises above partisan sniping and makes statecraft seem noble."
The Gazette editorial points out that Obama and Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton are almost identical on the issues, but Obama's early opposition to the Iraq war put him over the top.
West Virginians vote May 13th. A Rasmussen poll in late March showed Clinton with 55% support to 27% for Obama among likely West Virginia voters.

Obviously information of this nature is only a legitimate political issue when it pertains to Barack Obama as it has not been reported on by the networks or major newspapers. Note the date this was posted. http://www.uticaod.com/homepage/x1637676857

Hillary for President announced the formation of "LGBT Americans for Hillary," a national steering committee of over 65 leaders in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Clinton voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman. The amendment failed by a vote of 49-48.Clinton supports the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and supports the rights of gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.On a u-tube video she tells a gay high school student she sponsored the all gay high school in New York and that teachers and parents must be re-educated and as overseer of the Department of Education she will be empowered to re-educate all of America. She could open gay schools in every state. Vote for Hillary Clinton and show your support for the gay community !!!
