Endorsements this Election

So endoresments have gotten played pretty big this election.  Colin Powell's endoresment of Obama last week was huge.  And SNL parodied McCain's avoidence of a Bush endorsement last weekend (http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/update-thursday-bush-... ). But perhaps the biggest endorsement of the election came last week for McCain.  And NO ONE talked about it.  I usually am pretty up on my news, and I just found out about this today.  

Whose endoresment am I talking about?  Well that would be Al Qaeda's endorsement of good ol' John McCain.  That is kind of huge, especially considering the suggestion by security experts that Al Qaeda might use terrorist attacks in the next week to tip the election in McCain's favor.  

What I want to know is why this was hardly covered.  This seems like a huge issue worthy of news coverage -- far more important than Sarah Palin's wardrobe.  

Check out Nicholas Kristof's column on this endorsement: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/26/opinion/26kristof.html?_r=1&em&oref=sl...

One week until election day!
