The Brooklyn Papers has joined Daily Gotham and Culture Kitchen in endorsing Barack Obama for President:

Sen. Hillary Clinton has touted her experience — but as the popularity of Obama’s campaign shows, the country is crying out for change.

True, on most substantive issues, Clinton and Obama hold similar views. But Obama is the candidate whose message of hope can cut through the partisan morass, bring our nation together and begin to restore America’s damaged credibility overseas. We’re not discounting the challenges ahead, but the time has come for a president who appeals to our idealism, not our partisanship.

Voters should note that the Democratic Party will distribute delegates on a proportional, rather than winner-take-all, basis this year, meaning that every vote will count. Sen. Clinton’s “home field advantage” may net her the most votes statewide, but Obama can still pick up dozens of delegates — delegates who will be needed if this battle goes all the way to the national convention in August.

Remember, Hillary may be our Senator, but Obama lived in NYC in the 1980's.
