Portland Press Herald: Obama should get his party’s nomination

… His abilities to compromise, inspire and speak to a broad spectrum of the electorate earns him our endorsement for the Democratic nomination in 2008. …

Obama’s ability to inspire was on display in Maine on Sept. 25, when he packed the Portland Expo, thrilling the crowd of young and old supporters with a call to work together for the common good. Politics, he said, was a mission, not a business. …

But Obama has demonstrated a predisposition for sitting down with people of diverse views and reaching a consensus. That makes him the most likely candidate to breakdown the current stalemates in Washington.

    It is too bad that Maine’s democrats play the Hilary insider game and lack the candor or character to build consensus with anyone outside the pack. Here’s hoping that audacity is infectious.
