Times Endorses Gore, McCain in Primary NEW YORK (Reuters) - Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) and Arizona Sen. John McCain (news - web sites) were endorsed on Sunday by the New York Times in the upcoming New York State primary on Super Tuesday, March 7. In its editorial, the Times pointed out that it had not endorsed any candidate in the presidential primaries since 1962. In choosing McCain over Texas Gov. George W. Bush (news - web sites), the Times said it felt that Bush had ``embraced a punitive hard-right agenda ... and made himself an instrument'' of his party's Congressional leaders. The newspaper said Sen. McCain of Arizona ``would not have to be repackaged and repositioned when it comes to outreach and reform. ``He has a proven ability to get votes from the vital center of the American spectrum,'' the editorial says. The Times also noted that McCain vowed to break the ``iron triangle'' of donations, lobbyists and legislation. The paper said one of its reasons in not endorsing former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley (news - web sites) was that he ``possesses an even more disturbing inability to convey a real hunger for the opportunity to serve.'' But in choosing Gore, the Times said that while there was plenty to criticize in his style and substance, the Vice President ``brings tremendous gifts to his quest for the White House.'' The newspaper said that Gore had ``a passion to lead, a determination to leave a positive mark on history and a burning desire to step out of his mentor's shadow and prove that he possesses the self-control and presidential high-mindedness so lacking in Mr. Clinton.'' The paper also gave Gore high marks on foreign policy, saying the Vice President ``is clearly the best prepared candidate in this race. He is also his party's strongest leader on environmental protection and scientific progress.'' The Times said that Sunday's primary endorsements of McCain and Gore applied only to the primary race and that the newspaper would make a final presidential endorsement late in the campaign for the November general election. ----------------- RECOMMENDED BOOKS http://www.bmvs.com/sites/anomalous/books/recommend.asp RECOMMENDED VIDEOS http://www.bmvs.com/sites/anomalous/videos/recommend.asp ANOMALOUS IMAGES WEBSITE http://www.anomalous-images.com <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
