This is the least surprising “Breaking News Alert” I’ve been emailed from The New York Times since the pompous “paper of record” endorsed John Kerry four years ago.

New York Times Editorial Board Endorses Obama for President
The New York Times editorial board has endorsed Senator
Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States,
stating: “We believe he has the will and the ability to forge
the broad political consensus that is essential to finding
solutions to this nation’s problems.”

Reminder:

The New York Times endorsed:

John Kerry in 2004
Al Gore in 2000
Michael Dukakis in 1988
Walter Mondale in 1984
Jimmy Carter in 1980
George McGovern in 1972
Hubert Humphrey in 1968

Well you get the pattern…
