More below the fold........

This is just friggin' beautiful. Looks like Barack Obama's Judgement vs Experiance argumenyt is resonating with the largest circulation paper in the Lone Star State...

Mr. Obama is our choice because of his consistently solid judgment, poise under pressure and ability to campaign effectively without resorting to the divisive politics of the past.

And what about that whole lack of "experiance" thang that Bill Clinton is so damned concerned about?.......

There's been lots of noise about his lack of experience. It is a legitimate concern, considering he's a 46-year-old first-term senator. But Mr. Obama's experience in elective office matches that of Abraham Lincoln before he became president. And he has served more time on Capitol Hill than four of the past five White House occupants.

Abe Lincoln. Nice.
The Editors at the Dallas Morning News had a few choice words about slime tactics from the Clinton Campaign as well...Hows that workin for ya Wolfson?

If youthful inexperience were such a liability, it has failed to resonate despite his opponents' best efforts. Mrs. Clinton, by contrast, flip-flopped over a plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Her campaign accepted donations from questionable sources. When Mr. Obama's support recently surged in early primary states, her campaign tried to smear him over drug use in his youth.

And finally, The Editors at the Dallas Morning News make the correct connection with Obama's heritage and upbringing in his early years outside of the United States. They didn't even have to say he was a Christian to do it!

Mr. Obama, the son of a white American mother and black Kenyan father, spent part of his childhood in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country.
His life experience gives him a unique perspective and a greater ability to build diplomatic bridges.

All bold type, mine.

The endorsement says a lot more concerning "contrasts" between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama.

I don't know about you, but in the world of Newspapers, this is a pretty good endorsement, and I find it very exciting.
