Falls Church News-Press Endorses Obama, Warner, Connolly, Moran and Feder

FALLS CHURCH, Va., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The weekly Falls Church
News-Press, widely recognized as the "most progressive newspaper in Virginia,"
formally endorsed a Democratic sweep in Northern Virginia in its editorial in
this week's edition.

The editorial calls for "a clean sweep of Democrats, all supported by this
newspaper" in the Nov. 4 election, adding, "We heartily endorse Sen. Barack
Obama for president, Gov. Mark Warner for U.S. Senate, and Rep. Jim Moran,
Chairman Gerry Connolly and Judy Feder for the U.S. Congress."

"The unprecedented meltdown of the nation's financial system in the last nine
months is the final testament to the consequences of the abject immorality and
greed that has gripped the nation since 1980," the editorial states. "It
stands as one last dire warning, one last call to repent, before a massive
disintegration of the global economy condemns modern civilization, itself. The
orgy of Republican-led unconscionable deregulation, which maxed out in 2005
when investment banks were sanctioned to lever every $1 to $40 in debt to set
the stage for the current decomposition, has brought the globe to the brink of
collapse."

The editorial notes that the key to victory for the statewide races of Obama
and Warner in Virginia is "right in the prime distribution area of the Falls
Church News-Press, including all of the 8th, 10th and 11th Congressional
districts and the Mason, Dranesville and Providence districts" of Fairfax
County. It adds, "Here, where the overwhelming margins of victory for Gov.
Mark Warner, Gov. Tim Kaine and Sen. James Webb were built to provide,
statewide, thin margins of victory for all three Democrats this decade."

The Falls Church News-Press, with a weekly circulation of 30,500, is owned and
edited by Nicholas F. Benton, who was named "Business Person of the Year" by
the Falls Church City Council last spring.
