Why Wait? New Mexico Paper Hits Street With 'Obama Wins' Headline
By E&P Staff
Published: October 28, 2008

Could this be "Dewey Defeats Truman" II? A New Mexico paper hit the streets this week with a headline in red declaring, "Obama Wins."

The New Mexico Sun News is a bi-monthly, and decided to roll the dice on the Barack Obama victory for its issue dated Oct. 26-Nov. 8.

"When it comes to calling the winner of a presidential election, everyone wants to be first," an editor's note reads. The New Mexico Sun News hereby claims that achievement."

The self-styled "special collector's edition" of the Sun News was reported by CNN chief national correspondent John King in his "political ticker" blog.

King describes the paper as a "liberal-leaning alternative newspaper" and added that the editor's note ended by asking readers to vote, "even if we did spoil the ending for you."
