Biggest newspaper in Utah endorses Obama

[Arlos]

Yep, that's right. The Salt Lake City Herald. Biggest newspaper in Romney's real home state, Mormon central, and the reddest of red states. And it ripped Romney a new one. Tore him up one side and down the other. Here, read it for yourself:

Now, normally, a single newspaper endorsing one candidate or the other doesn't matter much. But this. This is big.

Lol who cares what mormons think anyways? They're as hilariously laughable as scientologists.

This is just reaction from lefters to the many liberal newspapers endorsing Romney, such as the Tenneseean (first time it has endorsed a GOPer since 1972! a real accomplishment, unlike Arlos' original post), The Orlando Sentinel, and even the Chicago Tribune!

Based on polling and favorability, I assumed Obama would win. He continues to drop more and more. I'm not so sure anymore. I'm sure this Utah endorsement will give Obama a chance in Utah.

Anyways, there are hundreds of newspaper posts just like that. It's not like Romney lost his hometown newspaper in the heart of people he agrees with.. Oh, snap

i don't put much stock in newspaper endorsements, as i tend to reach my own conclusions BUT lots of people who care less about this stuff might

some folks were surprised when the Lincoln Journal Star endorsed obama last week, but the real shocker that sent ripples through the cornfields happened this week when the Omaha World Herald endorsed a democratic challenger over the long-time rep from omaha, Lee Terry

i decided long ago that Terry is a piece of shit, but the OWH bucking him like this in his own home town may turn out to be rather damaging, especially if the Obama campaign maintains its push in o-town. IMO the DNC would be wise to dump a bunch of cash into that race, because what was once a lock has opened up into a tossup


...also Bob Kerrey has whittled Deb Fischer's 25-point lead from July down to a 5-point lead as they compete for Ben Nelson's senate seat.


interesting races in what is usually a boring state for politics

[Narrock]

This will have zero percent negative effect on Romney. Total meaningless minutiae.

[brinstar]

yeah it's not like it'll knock him out of 2nd place

[Narrock]

2nd place? LOL. You don't pay attention to the polls.

[brinstar]

the polls you said were biased?

i think you caught a case of romnesia too

[Narrock]

You want your cake and eat it too. Like I said, leftists only care about polls if it shows THEIR candidate winning. If the polls show a leftist candidate losing, it's not discussed. lol

[brinstar]

wow, the GOP cock really is balls-deep in your throat isn't it?

how about you just stop wasting all that time typing and just paste limbaugh clips instead.

Either will be a huge improvement over Ben Nelson. It's a shame Kerrey never made it to the White House. He's a good man and probably would've been a very good President.

Our Senate choices are Sherrod Brown or Josh Mandel in Ohio. I'd take Kerrey over either of those ding dongs.

I don't listen to the great maha rushie, but it's entertaining how he pisses you leftists off, with uncomfortable facts.

agreed sir. never was a nelson fan myself, aside from the pair he showed when he pissed all over the plans for a nuclear waste dump in NE back in the 90s. the state got sued for it (and lost), and some people are still butthurt about it, but whatever, fuck 'em. at least we don't have a goddamn nuclear waste dump. ben was a good gov, but a bad US sen


i watched the last debate between kerrey and fischer a couple weeks ago. bob ran circles around her on every single topic - foreign policy, economic policy, social issues, government spending, etc. she just stood there with that stupid smirk on her face and repeated empty, nonspecific platitudes

EDIT: oh yeah, and he floated the idea of introducing a "Norris Amendment" that would 1) make the US congress nonpartisan like ours, 2) impose a 12-year term limit on congressional service, and 3) create campaign spending limits. tell me THAT isn't badass.

fischer was an empty-headed idiot in our state senate, and if polls hold true, she'll be an empty-headed idiot in the US senate. just gotta hope bob can squeeze out that last 5 points

[Narrock]

Speaking about foreign policy... It's going to be the funniest thing I've ever heard listening to obummer trying to convince everybody that he has a successful foreign policy. He better call in sick to that debate.

[brinstar]

ask bin Laden about Obama's foreign policy when you meet him

[Narrock]

Yeah, obummer single-handedly stealthed in and strangled bin laden! LOL. Funny how obummer blames Bush for everything, yet fails to give him credit for setting up that whole plan (which he did). And another thing... Obummer dropped the ball 5 times before Leon Pineta had to basically say to himself "fuck this stupid president" and made the call HIMSELF to execute the plan ASAP. Obummer is such a fucking loser and worthless shitbag.

[brinstar]

Yeah, obummer single-handedly stealthed in and strangled bin laden! LOL.

if Obama doesn't deserve credit for killing bin Laden, why do you give bin Laden credit for 9/11?

[Gypsiyee]

yeah it's not like it'll knock him out of 2nd place

lol

oh okay. Tora Bora. that's all I have to say about that.
