Sarah Palin

Alaska newspaper endorses Obama

The paper praises Alaska Governor Palin's passion and charisma. The top newspaper in the home state of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for president. Alaska's largest-circulation paper, the Anchorage Daily News, said state governor Mrs Palin was "too risky" to be one step away from the presidency. In an editorial it says her nomination "captivated" Alaskans but that must not "overwhelm all other judgment". The focus should be on John McCain, it said, calling him the "wrong choice".

'Stumbled badly'

The newspaper said many Alaskans were "proud to see their governor, and their state, so prominent on the national stage". It also described Mrs Palin as a "force to be reckoned with".
