The Sun took the time to watch and listen to the presidential contenders. The Sun's endorsement for Hillary Clinton is well deserved and earned by the senator. This election is critical - we must gain a proven, smart leader - it's Hillary. Vote Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is conistent and a proven leader. She has earned your vote. NY Times Paul Krugman compared Hillary's and Obama's economic recovery plans and concluded the Hillary's was the best and that Barack Obama's quite frankly was not "progressive". Barack Obama, now that he has praised Ronald Reagan as a champion of change, does not deserve your vote. Ronald Reagan did not care a wit about the poor or middle class. He eschewed social programs and was more interested in style than in substance, leaving office with a large deficit. While a long and spirited campaign season, I think the best choice has risen to the forefront through debates, stump speeches and cafeteria counter meetings. It is Hillary Clinton. She will end the Iraq war in the right manner, provide health care to every American, end subsidies to oil companies to fund clean energy, and she will work with the world to quickly put in place plans to address climate change. She understands the role of the president and how to build a strong economy for workers. Vote Hillary Clinton for the good and for the future of this great country.

Hillary Clinton is the best candidate. Please caucus for her - especially if you are a worker in need of health care, a good economy and believe, like Hillary, that the Iraq war must end now. I understand that an article like this might be confusing, but please identify where you are able to caucus and join in the exciting moment of sending Hillary Clinton to the White House.

Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to be our next president. This is a serious election and voters in Nevada should support Hillary. She has the best plans for universal health care, for economic recovery and for addressing climate change. Unlike the Bush family, Hillary and Bill Clinton are successful because of their education and hardwork. Both are committed to this country and have shown us that in even the most difficult political and personal times, it takes strength and courage to move forward in a positive way. Vote Hillary on Saturday - the tested, experienced candidate.

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton on winning the debate last night. She clearly has the greatest breadth and depth of experience and understands the demands of the presidency. Her comments regarding how to stimulate the economy deserve greater attention and applause. Vote for Hillary Clinton - you will be most pleased with the results.

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton on her debate win. I wish more time had been spent on the economy. Hillary's economic recovery plan is the most responsive to the needs of this country and very well thought out in terms of how to invest in a manner that helps middle and low income populations and how to move this country to green jobs and away from imported oil. Her plan has received accolades in the media. If you care about the environment and the economy and want to see the war ended, then Hillary Clinton deserves your caucus vote. Vote Hillary.

Hillary Clinton has the right experience. She is a proven positive change agent for people of color, the poor, children and the middle class. How lucky we are! Caucus for Hillary Clinton.

Use your vote for thoughtful, proven change.  Vote for Hillary Clinton.  Here is one more important reason why:Today New York Times Op-Ed columnist Paul Krugman, in reviewing Clinton's, Obama's and Edward's economic stimulus plans wrote:"Last week Hillary Clinton offered a broadly similar but somewhat larger proposal. (It also includes aid to families having trouble paying heating bills, which seems like a clever way to put cash in the hands of people likely to spend it.) The Edwards and Clinton proposals both contain provisions for bigger stimulus if the economy worsens.And you have to say that Mrs. Clinton seems comfortable with and knowledgeable about economic policy. I’m sure the Hillary-haters will find some reason that’s a bad thing, but there’s something to be said for presidents who know what they’re talking about.The Obama campaign’s initial response to the latest wave of bad economic news was, I’m sorry to say, disreputable: Mr. Obama’s top economic adviser claimed that the long-term tax-cut plan the candidate announced months ago is just what we need to keep the slump from “morphing into a drastic decline in consumer spending.” Hmm: claiming that the candidate is all-seeing, and that a tax cut originally proposed for other reasons is also a recession-fighting measure — doesn’t that sound familiar?Anyway, on Sunday Mr. Obama came out with a real stimulus plan. As was the case with his health care plan, which fell short of universal coverage, his stimulus proposal is similar to those of the other Democratic candidates, but tilted to the right.  "...  For example, the Obama plan appears to contain none of the alternative energy initiatives that are in both the Edwards and Clinton proposals, and emphasizes across-the-board tax cuts over both aid to the hardest-hit families and help for state and local governments. I know that Mr. Obama’s supporters hate to hear this, but he really is less progressive than his rivals on matters of domestic policy."The economy will be a great challenge for the next president.  Please use your caucus vote for Hillary Clinton.Virginia
