"The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation."
Like many other critics of Palin in the United States, the paper believes she is truly ready to step into the job of being president. This is interesting that a paper from her home state would be so blunt about their support for the opposition. However, Anchorage is not the only paper declaring support against their state's perceived party affliation. In Muncie, Indiana, The Star Press endorses Obama because he has set an example by remaining calm during the financial collapse. Interestingly enough, other newspapers based out of "swing states" have endorsed Obama, such as: The Erie Times-News (PA) and The Lansing State Journal (MI).
The Anchorage paper concluded their article with a funny, yet mean statement about Palin and McCain: "Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time."

Most publications now are announcing their official recommendations. The most recent I've seen was from NEA Today, a Lutheran magazine. They've endorsed Obama. Rolling Stone started early, about a year ago by endorsing Obama. Oh, that liberal media (note the sarcasm).
