Statesman Endorses Grant

The Statesman endorses Grant, enthusiasticly.
Democrat Larry Grant would be that kind of congressman — the right choice for this district and for these times. Grant gets our enthusiastic endorsement in the Nov. 7 election.
The editors say that Grant "shows a studied, nuanced command of the issues" such as immigration, Iraq and accountability.

The print version has more than the online version,and includes a few gems. They say Sali's "campaign hinges on two preposterous assertions," that Grant is a liberal and that Sali will be effective. It's preposterous that Grant is a liberal. It's preposterous that Sali will be effective. The Statesman also says "Sali rates a poor third to Grant and United party upstart Andy Heddon-Nicely."

The Statesmans says Sali comes across as muddled and indecisive. First Sali opposed the Boulder-White Clouds bill, now he says he doesn't know how he'll vote.

The front page of the Insight section really has all you need to know about Grant and Sali. The page features statements by both candidates. Grant talks about ending corruption, balancing the budget, and having a rational plan for Iraq. Sali just talks about Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha and Steny Hoyer.
