The Philadelphia gang just doesn't seem hep to the news.
In the wake of Bittergate, Obama is an elitist. Hillary downs shots and beer, loves the huntin' culture, is in tune with regular folks.
But today, the Philadelphia Daily News, which at least fashions itself as a blue-collar tab, endorses Obama:
"A candidate's campaign may be the best indicator of how she or he will govern. If so, an Obama administration would be well-managed, inclusive and astonishingly broad-based. It would make good use of technology and communicate a message of unity and, yes, hope. It would not be content with eking out slim victories by playing to the narrow interests of the swing voters of the moment while leaving the rest of the country as deeply divided as ever."
And the University of Pennsylvania's Daily Pennsylvanian, a voice of (frequently well-off) Ivy League kids, endorses Hillary:
"We want to believe that Sen. Barack Obama can accomplish all he promises. His soaring rhetoric and compelling vision have inspired us and many other students. But while Obama's charisma far outshines that of Sen. Hillary Clinton, her public service, political experience and tenacity tell us not only 'Yes we can' but also 'How we can.' As such, we endorse Clinton for the Democratic Party's nomination for president."
