New York Times Endorsements Through the Ages

The New York Times has endorsed Obama today which isn't very interesting (or at least it's not very surprising). They do have a very interesting time line of their past announcements. Included is this gem from the three candidate race of 1912:

"It is to the interest of the Nation that the Republican party should be preserved as an organized, coherent opposition. The public welfare is not preserved by the collapse of a great party, by the rise of discordant factions in place of a compact organization."
