Editor&Publisher described this morning's newspaper endorsements as "a landslide for Obama." Some of the highlights include:

Iowa - Des Moines Register:

An Obama presidency presents the best hope for a unified America that aspires to greatness again.

iowa - Quad City Times:

Already, Obama is demonstrating presidential leadership and demeanor, displaying steely calm against an avalanche of unfair attacks, distortions and distractions.

Florida - Gainesville Sun:

Obama has, through the power of his rhetoric and reason, captured the imagination of millions of Americans who have little interest in politics-as-usual.

Louisiana - Times-Picayune:

We believe that Barack Obama could help restore our reputation as a land of opportunity. But that benefit is dwarfed by a larger potential that we think an Obama presidency could achieve: Seizing the chance for America to lead and, at a time of crisis and transformation, be a global pioneer.

Pennsylvania - Wilkes-Barre Times Leader:

But Obama’s composure – combined with his intelligence, ideas, communication skills and capacity to rally people to a cause – gave our endorsement board the evidence it needed to reach a decision: Democrat Barack Obama is the man for the job.

Pennsylvania - Pocono Record:

Obama's early opposition to the war attracted his initial supporters. Since then his steady, measured, intelligent approach to a wide range of issues has drawn millions more, including many well-known Republicans, to his campaign.

Virginia - Staunton News Leader:

Obama brings a freshness, good ideas and, above all, the confidence that we will be led by an administration that will restore a better life for Americans, trust among the nations of the world and decisions made with all of us in mind, not just the upper class.
