Some money quotes:

"Obama promised a transparent administration but instead ran a secretive White House."
"Although he was elected in a time of economic turmoil, Ronald Reagan's greatest achievement... came from emotional leadership, the ability to bring us together and reignite our confidence in the virtues and future of the nation... It is this that Barack Obama has failed to do."

Bill Moyers is sad.

Oh my!

Newdsay is usually used as bird cage liner. For them to endorse Romney is earth shaking. This is almost equivalent to the NY Times endorsing Romney, and about as likely. For this to happen is not good news for the good ship Bam Bam.

Whoa...

THIS is a stunner.

I’m 64 years old. Newsday has been the Democratic paper on Long Island for as long as I can remember.

[God luvs America]

wondering who the New York Daily News is going to endorse...

[nuconvert]

And intentionally waiting until the last minute to do so.

“That’s gonna hurt, Bob!”

It is as stunning to me to see the 200 people show up to see Stevie Wonder today, as it was to see XX,000 show up in Denver or Chicago in 2008.

What are people thinking?!?

[hcmama]

I can not believe this! I thought this was a joke at first.

[SE Mom]

This is INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Jaw-dropper. This is a liberal paper. Forever. (I know you know this- but I’m in shock)

[metmom]

Maybe the reality of the aftermath of Sandy is FINALLY sinking in.

I’d have figured obama was a shoe in for NYS. Our presidential vote is always a throw away vote because of NYC.

I will still be shocked if NY doesn’t go to obama.

I hope the good folks on Long island and throughout the states of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey wise up and join the overwhelming rest of our country in supporting Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan. The Obama campaign, including the Democrat party is in freefall. I might even suggest that California broom Obama for obvious and clear cut reasons!!! You do not have be a brain wizard to figure that one out!!! No matter......California will be hung out to dry & die when Rpmney/Ryan win on Tuesday evening....just like our fellow Americans in Libya, killed by murderer Obama because of his lack of interest, attention and proactive action!!! Thanks, Newsday. I lived on long Island for fifty years and never saw Newsday endorse any Republican for POTUS!!!

*picking jaw off the floor*

They surely see the writing on the wall and do not want to be on the wrong side of history.

Bam is TOAST. *bigcheesygrin*

[1_Rain_Drop]

smelling salts please!
We have just witnessed a miracle!

[xuberalles]

Surely Obama’s shining “Sandy” moment would erase four years of historic failure, systematic deception, and endless excuses.

[GeronL]

this was a surprise

[CaptainK]

Newsday is the shorter fraternal twin of the NY Times. This is beyond shocking.

[dead]

The comments are illustrative - not one of them can defend Obama, they just trash Romney.

[Moorings]

It has been interesting that these newspapers have endorsed the Republican ticket. I was wondering about this and the only explanation I have is that they know if the current economic conditions continue or worsen, many of these newspapers will have to shut down and these reporters will be looking at a career change. They know that the Romney ticket offers a better chance of survival. So survival trumps ideology.

Are you SURE Christ hasn’t returned?
