A limp-wrist endorsement. First it comes on Friday instead of in the Sunday edition. Then after saying they endorse Romney and provide some positive aspects of his candidacy, they have this to say:
Romney had to survive a fractious primary by steering too far right on some issues. ...Romney does give us pause. His famed flip-flops on issues from immigration to health care, always pushing further right, are worrisome. His difficulty in speaking precisely and inoffensively on such issues as Londons Olympic preparedness, Israeli Palestinian issues and U.S. embassy assaults paint him, at best, as a foreign policy neophyte.
But coming from a big dinosaur media newspaper a half-hearted endorsement is better than none.
(p.s. A thread on the endorsement from the "Examiner" was posted in the GOP forum on Saturday and got a few replies. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/2938150/posts )

Newspaper endorsements are such a charming anachronism. Newspapers themselves are sort of a living (barely) museums.

What strange world did I wake up in where this rag actually endorses Mittens?

What is the normal political posture of the Dallas Morning News? F'rinstance, whom did they endorse in the last three or four presidential elections?

Newspaper endorsements are such a charming anachronism. True, but I still enjoy reading one in the morning over bacon and eggs. Alas, the popularity of Apple and other tablets may finish them off.

If 0bama had done anything right at all, the situation would have improved in the last 3.5 years. It has not.
Even if the gov't does nothing, a recession recovers in a year or two.
Instead he has done everything to prolong it and make it worse.
If he could not handle the "mess" that he inherited from Bush, how can he possibly handle the mess he left for himself? No way.

Voting for Romney is like crashing into a tree to avoid going off a cliff. At least there’s a chance of surviving.

Don't know the answer to that. But they probably had a fight in the newsroom over the endorsement. Likely had to calm some of the staffers by writing some negative comments such as these below.
His difficulty in speaking precisely and inoffensively on such issues as Londons Olympic preparedness, Israeli Palestinian issues and U.S. embassy assaults paint him, at best, as a foreign policy neophyte.
But these so-called "gaffes" pale compared to Obama's recent foreign policy stumbles such as not being able to tell the difference (or ignoring it) between a terrorist attack and a demonstration, or calling Nazi concentration camps "Polish death camps."

If 0bama had done anything right at all, the situation would have improved in the last 3.5 years. But his goals isn't to do what's right for America. It's to collapse the system so they can start the from-the-ground-up "fundamental transformation".

At one time Dallas County was heavily Republican, but those days are long past. The newspaper has been mostly Republican, but I guess its liberal Republican now.

I don’t know if I could recommend Romney for President, but I would certainly recommend Obama for EX-President.
To: USS Alaska
LOL! That was my first thought, too.

[ The wars have largely faded from headlines ]
Yes, they have left the headlines, but that doesn't change the fact our guys are dying over there everyday. We have lost more on Obama’s watch in Afghanistan than we did under Bush, but you would never no that if you get your news from the msm headlines. The Middle East is in chaos and Obama's foreign policy is in complete collapse, but you would never know that if you get your news from msm sources. We are now funding the terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood, in Egypt!

And it slows down the speed of going over the cliff.... Hopefully allowing enough time to correct and avoid the cliff all together

Candidate Obama, an orator of great skill and cadence... One of the many things I hate about Obama is the cadence of his speech.
