In his latest piece, Steve Gunn spends his time sucking up to Twitter Pete Hoekstra with just a nod to any candidate other than his favorite and Cox:

Oops!  Sorry Stevie, it's Snyder.  With a Y. Got it?  Stick it in a neuron. If you want to confirm it, try Snyder's website.

Why would anyone listen to someone who can't even spell all the candidates' names correctly?  Isn't that a minimal requirement for getting enough legitimacy for someone to take what one writes seriously? Some "Communications Director."  The Old Party can have them, but why does the Chronicle feel the urge to foist him on the people of West Michigan?

From the editorial, National Crisis Cries Out for Best to Lead - Obama.

America is deeply troubled today. Our nation is in economic crisis, mired in debt, at war and adrift in a sea of global and domestic turmoil.... [W]e believe Obama has more potential than McCain to be the great president these times call for.

Over the months of this grueling campaign, Obama has demonstrated the leadership, compassion, intelligence and courage America expects from its leaders....
