Florida Today, the local paper here in Brevard Co. FL (pop. 500,000), has also endorsed Romney. I’ve lived here 32 years and I don’t remember them ever endorsing a Republican before, though they may have endorsed Reagan’s second term.
This area is strong Romney anyway but it’s so out of character for Florida Today. Maybe they just realized they’d lose another big batch of subscribers to do such a bone-headed thing as to endorse Obama after his dismal job performance.
Here in Broward I have seen signs for Romney 20 to 1 over Obama.
