Esquire endorses Obama Esquire, for the first time in the magazine’s history, is endorsing a presidential candidate — Barack Obama. Executive editor Mark Warren said the magazine is following its 2006 decision to endorse in all 504 federal races. Again in 2008, they'll endorse in each race, and that now includes the presidency. "We had long discussions about it," Warren said, adding that there were about a half-dozen editors involved. "We ended up work-shopping this kind of lengthy, thoughtful, rather intemperate piece of writing. In their 2,700-word endorsement, the editors describe John McCain as “one of the first presidential candidates in history to run as a parody of himself,” while running a “cheap and dishonorable campaign.” But Warren notes that "it’s not a gushing endorsement [and] expresses some frustrations we feel toward the Obama candidacy."
