Madison's Wisconsin State Journal Endorses Mitt Romney
Big Journalism ^ | 11/4/12 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 11/04/2012 8:49:18 AM PST by markomalley

On Sunday, Madison's Wisconsin State Journal endorsed Mitt Romney for President. In 2008, the paper endorsed Barack Obama, but four years later, the State Journal believes it's time for Obama to go:

Not enough hope and too little change.

That is President Barack Obama's record on the economy, debt and Washington gridlock after four years in the White House.

The State Journal editorial board endorses Mitt Romney in Tuesday's presidential election.

Romney showed as the Republican governor of Democratic-leaning Massachusetts that he can find agreement across the partisan divide. And his vice presidential pick — Wisconsin's U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville — suggests Romney is serious about tackling America's fiscal mess.

Romney has an impressive record of success in the private and public sectors. He's a numbers guy who focuses more on results than ideology. That's why so many of his fellow Republicans during the GOP primary criticized him for not being conservative enough.

If that's what it takes for these guys to endorse Romney, I'm good with that!

This will cause Professor Brucie Lightloafers to cancel the WSJ subscription for the teachers lounge for the University of Wisconsin Sociology Department. Oh the horrors of a socialist newspaper gone truthful.

Are you sure? Is it the Onion? or is it a misprint? This is so odd for madistan and The Wisconsin State Urinal to endorse Romney. Educated in Madison (masters degree) but being a conservative at UW Madison you either got tougher or you became a bleeding heart liberal. This is not generally possible unless the liberals have given up on the Obama machine. What happened Mifflin street have a massive fire and the area is now none existant? The areas away from madison are conservative but this is breaking news in of itself - The wisconsin state journal and the capitol times are produced in the same building. whom is the Crapitol Times endorsing? If it does to endorse Romney than Obama is toast

How many more shoes have to drop before the MSM gives a fair accounting of the massive groundswell gaining against 4 more years of misery with Barack Hussein Obama II...
