This is unexpected, but pleasant.  I thought for sure the Post-Gazette was a Hillary Clinton shill… but I guess because Scaife (of the Pittsburgh Trib) all but knelt between Clinton’s legs when she was in Pittsburgh during  St. Patrick’s day weekend, the PG decided to go the opposite direction.

Pennsylvania — this encrusted, change-averse commonwealth where a state liquor monopoly holds on against all reason and where municipal fiefdoms shrink from sensible consolidation — needs to take a strong look at the new face and the new hope in this race. Because political business-as-usual is more likely to bring the usual disappointment for the Democrats this fall, the Post-Gazette endorses the nomination of Barack Obama, who has brought an excitement and an electricity to American politics not seen since the days of John F. Kennedy.

I’ll take it.
