Sunday October 22 2:08 PM ET Gore, Bush Pick Up Major Newspaper Endorsements WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Presidential hopefuls Al Gore and George W. Bush received endorsements from several major U.S. newspapers on Sunday, with The Washington Post and San Francisco Chronicle backing the vice president and The Detroit News and Columbus Dispatch picking the Texas governor. In endorsing Gore for president, the Post described the Democratic candidate as ``a man of good character'' who would bring sound judgement and the right priorities to the White House. ``By virtue of experience, capacity and positions on the issues, he is the better qualified candidate,'' the newspaper said in a lengthy editorial. ``In a dangerous world, as we have recently been reminded this is, Mr. Gore offers leadership without the need of on-the-job training,'' the Post added. The San Francisco Chronicle, in an editorial on its Web site, echoed the same themes, saying Gore had ``seasoned judgement, leadership and familiarity with the world'' as well as ``on-the-job experience.'' The Columbus Dispatch and the Cleveland Plain Dealer in Ohio, and The Detroit News in Michigan -- newspapers in critically important electoral states -- endorsed Bush as the candidate best able to end the political bickering in Washington. The Dispatch, in an editorial published on its Web site, said the Republican Texas governor was better equipped to ''smooth over the bitter partisanship and frequent gridlock that have characterized the eight years of the Clinton administration and stymied efforts to come to grips with looming fiscal crises in Social Security and Medicare.'' The Detroit News also said Bush was best for Michigan because of Gore's ``disdain for the internal combustion engine.'' It said his environmental policies could wipe out tens of thousands of jobs in a state heavily dependent upon the auto industry. Bush also picked up endorsements from The Dallas Morning News, The Seattle Times and the Portland Oregonian. Gore also received the endorsement of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Minneapolis Star Tribune. dailynews.yahoo.com

Cisco, No Nobel Peace Prize for Clinton! Not only did the Peace Prize Committee find it rather sleezy that the Whitehouse would lobby them on behalf of Clinton, but it looks like the Middle East is on the brink of a wider war. Clinton tried to sell out Israel with a combination of bribes (100 billion in aid) and offers of using the CIA as some kind of buffer agency between the PLO and Mossad but the Israelis figured out that they were going to give up their security with a peace deal. Just as Winston Churchill figured during WWII, no nation can guarantee the security of another. He turned down Hitler's offer of a peace deal. Now Israel and the PLO are on the brink of a great civil war. I don't think either side is going to win public opinion this time around. In a certain sense, this has all been brought about by Clinton and his endless attempts to bring a peace deal onto his resume so that he could win the Nobel Peace Prize. Funny how you can audition for something like that at the expense of a nation. -John
