Great editorial here, and, excellent reminders of what Mr. Obama has accomplished since his inauguration.

Big deal. They stupidly endorsed him in 2008. Doubling down on failure in 2012.

Default Denver Post Endorses President Obama

Well-written article. Really lays out the case.

Exactly. I'd be interested in seeing how many 2008 endorsements are switched to Romney for 2012. My guess is very few, if any, for the reason you assert. Who amongst the liberal press establishment are in the business of eating crow and acknowledging failure? None that i'm aware of.....changing endoresments is akin to admitting failure. For an industry that's in the tank for Obama, that's never going to happen.

I like this part from the 2008 endorsement:

Quote:
[LEFT]
As to Obama, we confess we fear that a compliant Congress may be all too eager to approve his plans. That's why it's critical for him to reach across the aisle and draw the best team he can assemble to get America working again. Why not ask Romney to chair his health-care reform task force, or even serve as his economic recovery "czar"? There's precedent for such a move, since Wendell Willkie helped sell President Franklin D. Roosevelt's vital wartime lend-lease program after losing his presidential race to FDR in 1940.
What's the chance that Obama will reach out in such a bipartisan fashion? Actually, he has a long record of doing exactly that. We don't mean his brief tenure in the Senate so much as his successful run as a community organizer in Chicago.

Obviously, the liberal hacks on the Denver Compost's editorial board have forgotten what actually happened after their man got elected in 2008. NO transparency, NO bipartisanship, NO results, NO jobs.

Also, even they know Romney is better equipped to fix the economy. They admitted it in 2008 - see above.

I'm sure you are right, it's is only a small percentage of voters. But Colorado is the closest race in the Nation right now so small percentages matter.

But I thought only Ohio mattered to Oblabla?

But when the Orlando Sentinal endorses Romney everyone says who cares? But now this is news?

I think it says a lot that Colorado is up for grabs....

Denver Post is the central paper for the whole State.

Orlando Sentinal has much less State market share.

In fact, the Post has more than twice the circulation as the Sentinal in a State that has has only 1/4 the population.
