This is interesting: NY Times endorsements since 1860

It's especially funny how they try to justify endorsing Roosevelt for a fourth term, when they endorsed Wilkie because three terms were too much.

[GMantis]

Their pre-1960s choices seem to be entirely dictated by which of the two candidates was the most aristocratic or from New York.

Since then it just shows the alienation of the Intellectual elements in the NE from the Republican Party.

Pretty much. Except for Eisenhower. Stevenson was a total nerd, then again, who didn't like Ike?

What is also interesting is how you can see the evolution of the English language overtime from big words and cumbersome sentences to smaller words and sentences that are more graceful.

Or with other words, the dumbing down of the language. And it was far more graceful before.

The NYT endorsed MCGOVERN? And they claim not to be biased?

Consider the alternative.

Not interesting at all. They always endorse Democrats.

Like Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, McKinley, Taft, Willkie, Dewey and Eisenhower?
