On the day the NY Times endorses Barak Obama, they also posted an interesting interactive display of their Presidential endorsements through the ages. What were they thinking endorsing Wendell Willkie over FDR back in 1940? Also interesting, but not at all surprising, that they have not endorsed a Republican since 1956.

My Endorsement

I have not yet announced which Democratic candidate for President of the United States I am going to endorse. I am sure Tucker Carlson from CNN is eagar to provide commentary on my choice.
