The newspaper, which has links to the Republican Party that date back to the party's founding, said Friday that Senator Barack Obama was the strongest choice ''to lead us through a perilous time and restore in us a common sense of national purpose.''

Abstract
A federal judge in Ohio granted a request late Tuesday from Senator Barack Obama's campaign to extend the voting hours in 21 precincts in Cleveland by an extra 90 minutes because of a lack of paper ballots. But because the order arrived after the polls had already closed, election officials were only able to reopen 10 polling stations, according to the Ohio secretary of state, Jennifer Brunner. That resulted in five additional votes being cast, Ms. Brunner said. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
