Salt Lake City Tribune endorses *drumroll* ........ OBAMA!!

I don't care who ya are, that's hilarious! :D

In short, this is the Mitt Romney we knew, or thought we knew, as one of us.

Sadly, it is not the only Romney, as his campaign for the White House has made abundantly clear, first in his servile courtship of the tea party in order to win the nomination, and now as the party’s shape-shifting nominee. From his embrace of the party’s radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: "Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?"

The evidence suggests no clear answer, or at least one that would survive Romney’s next speech or sound bite. Politicians routinely tailor their words to suit an audience. Romney, though, is shameless, lavishing vastly diverse audiences with words, any words, they would trade their votes to hear.

More troubling, Romney has repeatedly refused to share specifics of his radical plan to simultaneously reduce the debt, get rid of Obamacare (or, as he now says, only part of it), make a voucher program of Medicare, slash taxes and spending, and thereby create millions of new jobs. To claim, as Romney does, that he would offset his tax and spending cuts (except for billions more for the military) by doing away with tax deductions and exemptions is utterly meaningless without identifying which and how many would get the ax. Absent those specifics, his promise of a balanced budget simply does not pencil out.

Well, the Mormons may have turned against him, but he still has the Appalachian snake handlers under his thumb. His policy positions might change daily, but he only loses his white skin when he addresses a Latino audience -- and that fake tan stuff washes off with a little soap and water. ;)
 
I agree Night, but you can never wipe that fake Romney away.

With newspapers across the country hurting so much in competition with the internet, it's amazing to me any would endorse and wager to lose half their customers? They would certainly have to have strong feelings. My paper here is Ohio lead with a front page headline saying 'Jobless rate falls in most Swing States' I doubt very much if they will endorse but they are putting their feelings up front. I think one of the Tampa papers did it because it is so close down there and they must have strong feelings but also because of the older people on Medicare. Of course other papers in Florida could do the opposite but I don't see many endorsements period.
 
Romney will easily carry Utah. No ifs, ands or buts. Who the Salt Lake City Tribune endorses will not matter one iota.....
 
You miss the point. That's the third "home state" that has turned against Mittwit along with Ryan's home state.

His win in Utah is a foregone conclusion, of course. A Republican Mormon could win there posthumously.

That doesn't answer the question: Why is it that those who know them best reject them?
 
Florida is a nuthouse. The current one point lead for Romney there is indicative of absolutely nothing. They pride themselves for voting with a blindfold and a dart board at the last minute. That's how it usually looks, anyway.

Yes, the state is all red but as zzigzzag said there were three home states that turned against Mitt. I know the link I posted from ABC said that but I should have mentioned that in my post where I said, I love Salt Lake City people. At times I don't read all the links either.

Your question is certainly what everyone thinking of voting for Mitt should question.
