Courant Backs Clinton For Democratic Nomination

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) ― The Hartford Courant has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in her bid for the Democratic nomination for president, saying she is more seasoned and better prepared than her principal rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

On the eve of her visit to Hartford, the Courant on Sunday said the New York senator is ready for what it called a new and nuanced world.

Connecticut's largest newspaper said Obama has brought inspiring energy to the presidential race and it praised former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards for raising good issues though the paper criticized his attacks on corporations. In a recent poll, Clinton was preferred by 41 percent of likely

Democratic voters, followed by 27 percent for Obama and 9 percent for Edwards.

Democratic and Republican voters in Connecticut go to the polls for their party primaries on Feb. 5.

Clinton is scheduled to attend a town hall meeting Monday about economic issues at The Learning Corridor in Hartford.
