ALASKA'S top newspaper has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for the White House, saying it would be too risky to put the state's Republican Governor, Sarah Palin, just "one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world".
The Anchorage Daily News, the leading newspaper in the overwhelmingly Republican state, called Mrs Palin's vice-presidential nomination "an improbable and highly memorable event" and added that "many Alaskans are proud to see their Governor, and their state, so prominent on the national stage".
But the newspaper editorial said home-town boosterism "does not overwhelm all other judgement".
