La Opinión, Los Angeles's Spanish language newspaper endorses Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for President!

Here's excerpts from their English language edition:

"The Democratic Party arrives at the California primary with a historic choice between two extraordinary candidates. We believe that of the two, Senator Barack Obama represents fundamental change in a campaign in which "change" has become a central theme. Obama's approach to immigration and his inspiring vision are what the country need to break through the current feeling of political malaise."

That editorial noted that Obama's and Clinton's positions on many issues were nearly identical. However, they placed a great deal of emphasis on the differences between these two candidates' position on driver's licenses for illegal immigrants:

"As well, we were disappointed with her calculated opposition to driver's licenses for the undocumented, which contrasts markedly from the forceful argument in support made by Obama. We understand that this is an extremely controversial issue but we believe there is only one right position and it is that of the senator from Illinois. And, while both senators support comprehensive immigration reform, only Obama has committed to bringing forward new legislation during his first year in office.

It is this commitment to the immigration issue which drove Obama to condemn the malicious lies made during the immigration debate, to understand the need for driver's licenses, and to defend the rights of undocumented students by co-authoring the DREAM Act."...
