Our pick: Mitt Romney [Wisconsin State Journal]

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.

Romney has been a strong leader in business and civic life. This includes turning around many troubled companies and the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Happy Birthday on the 6th - may all your hopes and dreams come true;)

The more I watch (and mute) the Cretin in Chief on TV - the more I wonder how anyone can accept him as the leader of a good and decent people.

Wow. The polls have everything tied up, but the intangibles are all in Romney’s favor.

OBAMA: “I’m just sort of a prop in the campaign...”

Wow, this is really depressing (for him to say that)...

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-im-sort-prop-campaign_660287.html

With those words, he sounds like he KNOWS he’s lost his Greek Columns and millions of “Yes we can” adorers.

Narcissists fall hard.

Known as “The Berkley of the Midwest”, ANY newspaper in Madison to back anyone other than Obama is big.

I am not sure but I think it is the big newspaper in that town.

Are any papers except the NYT and LaTimes endorsing the loser?

How can that be if they only endorsed the Democrat twice in in 30 years?

It’s so sad to see Barack Obama’s name on the same list with Ronald Reagan and George Washington.

What a shame.
