I knew that they had been critical of Palin due to the Trooper scandal and the lies she has told on the stump but I am surprised at this. As well as the comments below.

Looks like they like Palin still...

Many Alaskans are proud to see their governor, and their state, so prominent on the national stage.

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

It's a McClatchy paper, so I'd expect them to be anti-Republican.

There is usually something at play. They make valid points but it is true that some papers have a slant.
If she loses I wonder what life in Alaska will be like for her now.

And their endorsement actually only means the 1 or 2 people that control it. More fodder for the "so what" category.

As the NYT has seen, with their liberal turn they're now rated as a junk stock.

All the newpapers are becoming dinosaurs anyway. Many are becoming junk stock simply because, as Bruce said, they're not hardly worth the trouble anymore. Today's news typically shows up in tomorrow afternoon's paper.
