Another Endorsement for Obama -- from Alaska!

Today the Anchorage Daily News, the largest paper in the state, came out with their endorsement of Barack Obama:

Gov. Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. She has made it clear she's a force to be reckoned with, and you can be sure politicians and political professionals across the country have taken note. Her future, in Alaska and on the national stage, seems certain to be played out in the limelight.
Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time. [Emphasis added]
These are the people that know her best, citizens of her own state, and even they are saying what should be obvious to the rest of the knuckledraggers over in the Rethug camp: She's just not ready for prime time.
