Do you mean, this? I agree, it is very thoughtful and thorough. I imagine, however, that it won’t sway too many people. Conservatives consistently bash the NYT for being overtly liberal, and this will be viewed no differently. Alternatively, liberals will already be voting for Obama, so their minds won’t need swaying. Perhaps a few undecideds (I still can’t believe someone can be undecided at this point) will be convinced, but that is it.

Nice piece. Shilolo’s probably right though. I am going to link it over to StevenB’s Q “Why should I vote for Obama”, though!

Neither can David Sedaris.

Susan; I just finished reading it; I have the URL pasted into my Edit menu – ready to send to Fluther (no longer necessary) and in particular to Emilyrose’s mom..if I can find her question. A model of clear organization, factual clarity, fairness, and even an explanation of why NYT originally backed Hillary.

@MacBean: Hilarious and up to DS’s usual standards.——->Very off-thread. Check the non-credit courses for Columbia-Greene for next semester.
