"Obama Wins!" is the headline of the edition on newsstands now, complete with "special collector's edition" in red bold typeface.Why bother with the election? Why not just let the MSM anoint the candidate they want? It works for you, right? Until they start anointing candidates you don't want.The Sun News is a bi-monthly newspaper and its Oct 26-Nov 8 issue had to hit the streets, and the newsstands, before the election. So the editors decided to make a leap of faith and declare Democrat Barack Obama the winner.
In an article explaining their choice, the editors unabashedly wrote, "When it comes to calling the winner of a presidential election, everyone wants to be first. The New Mexico Sun News hereby claims that achievement."

because he had just won the Scholastic Magazine election by mostly sixth graders.
How cute!
The New Mexico's Sun News announcement is based on the Current expectation of both candidates. The way all the polls stand, it would be short of a Real Huge Miracle for McCain to win. It is clear.
Very different from Faux News announcing that Bush had won on election day before all the numbers were in in 2004.
After eight brutal years, of the most partisan, wreckless politics, she would know about "annointed".
Besides, everyone wants Obama to win !!
The "contributing editor" justification for this article is as lame as any I've ever seen, and is revealed as a pathetic excuse in the paragraph that follows immediately by saying that (King) Obama's coronation "will be old news" by the time his irrelevent rag hits the stand (singular). God knows people couldn't wait an extra few days for this type of "newspaper".
I'm sure he see's it as unfortunate that this is still America (for another few months at least).
11,000 copies are distributed through over 400 "stands" every other week ... pub
THANKS! I knew he would win :). You've made my morning.
