That's a surprise. The Orlando Sentinel is a very liberal newspaper. Not that it matters much, I don't think most people vote based on endorsements, whether they come from newspapers or celebrities.

The Orlando Sentinel changed their usual view or opinion but no one should hold their breath thinking that the Tampa Bay Times [f.k.a. St Peterburg Times] or the Sarasota Herald Tribune would ever do the same.

The NY Observer also endorsed Romney today and they endorsed Obama last time also! Doesn't make much difference, but is very telling, I agree!

The Sentinal has already lost many readers.
No one here is going to worry about who the Sentinal endorses.

I agree, very telling.

I have some family whom relocated to Tampa a few years ago and they have been so frustrated with the blind Obama mentality there. However, they say things are a lot different this time around and Obama does not hold the star status there he once did.

The very liberal Tennessee newspaper, The Tennassean, just endorsed Romney also! And this is he paper that Al Gore used to be associated with.

Very telling!
