Sioux Falls 'Argus Leader' Endorses Clinton

By: South Dakota's largest newspaper endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination while acknowledging that rival Barack Obama may be unbeatable.

The Argus Leader in Sioux Falls said in an editorial Friday that Clinton "is the strongest Democratic candidate for South Dakota."

"Her mastery of complex policy detail is broad and deep, and her experience as a senator and former first lady matches that," the editorial said. "Measured against her opponent, Clinton is philosophically more moderate. That is likely a good thing for South Dakota."

South Dakota and Montana hold the last primaries in the marathon Democratic nomination race on Tuesday. South Dakota has 15 delegates at stake, Montana 16.

Obama leads Clinton by about 200 delegates, according to a tally by The Associated Press.
