Four years ago, as America faced serious trouble at home and abroad, this news organization embraced the need for bold change to a different brand of leadership and endorsed Barack Obama for president. That assessment of the depth of the nation's problems and the most promising solution was correct in 2008. Regrettably, it applies no less in 2012, after nearly a full term of Obama's administration. This is why the editorial board urges voters to choose Mitt Romney for president in the Nov. 6 election. He is the leader this country needs for the future.

Preference cascade....
Liberal whackos are going nuts in the comments on that link.
This is big. Are the numbers wrong? Could we be looking at another Reagan-like landslide?
bttt
This, along with the Des Moines Register endorsing Mitt is telling. Why would these liberal papers endorse someone who will loose te election? I think the papers might know the ground game and it is awful for the chair.
Nobody fought in California. It’s lost. It’s lost mostly because we don’t make our case there. It’s just looney not to fight for the fifty-five electoral votes, but I guess the four in New Hampshire are more important.
We surrender California every four years, and fight like demons for states with less than 10% of California’s electoral total.
When our national leaders do this, they take a pass on educating the public. We in California can do so, but who has the most visible platform to do it from?
The Hispanics in California have family values. They value jobs. They want good education. Many are devout Christians. Despite this, the state is treated like a poor step-child every four years.
As so it goes...
Hear, hear. Good post.

It’s treated that way because its a hopeless basket case. My god you elected Jerry Brown, AGAIN! In 2010 every state wide office went to the Rats. The rest of us don’t our money being pissed down a rat hole, and it costs a fortune to compete there.
And another SO CA OMG!!!!!!
Just what I would expect, their endorsing a liberal who has pushed forward mandated health care, and raised taxes, and implemented homosexuals calling themselves married. Hardly a contest vs Obama. Maybe next time we can nominate Hillary Clinton as the consensus Republican candidate.
Their job is news and rumors. They know what is coming and in a month do you want it remembered that your paper endorsed Obama when the hearings start, and they are going to.
Libya is about more than 4 dead and a refusal to help, it is also about why they were there and the back story of what was going on. This thing has the power to destroy dems on so many levels if the rumors going around Washington are even slightly true.
Dems at all levels are running for the hills unless they are in the line of fire or working directly for Obama. Crickets are chirping all over the place in the media, Congress and the Senate. Do you remember this ever happening for any other dem scandal? They always brazen it out in public and on the air, they are not this time.
It’s GREAT, FWIW. It’s a smack down of the Marxist and great for Romney.
It would be God’s miracle for CA to go to Romney/Ryan.
CA is written off in presidential elections on the GOP side, because it’s so costly for the campaigns and in 2010 Moonbeam and the rats swept.
Heartbreaking to me because I’m a 3rd generation native of the state and remember the days when the democrats didn’t automatically win.
This might have been the year, but our side has fallen for that one too many times, I reckon.
They want the Jefe (Caudillo) to take the money from the gringos and give it to them.
A charming little family with their tattoos, spitting, and chattering in Spanish was next to me on the beach this morning. The venom in their eyes for me and my kid was obvious.
The only "family values" they have ever demonstrated is "more of us, fewer of them".
Don't BS yourself. And by the way, can you give me a good answer why California should be majority Mexican?
From 1846 to 2010, that wasn't true. How is it possible that a foreign populace can simply lay claim to an American state, and we all cower in fear and acquiesce to it?
Thanks CC.
On the other hand, the state recalled its liberal governor a few years ago, and elected a Republican. True, his name was Schwarzenegger, but still you can’t say a major effort wasn’t made. Also, this state put in the “three strikes law” which lowered major crimes by a lot by putting repeat offenders away for the long term. Finally, this state passed a defense of marriage initiative. It got challenged in court, but it won a popular vote.
I’m not writing it off. yet.

Depending on the next 4 years of a Romney Adm, this will be the last election that Republicans will avoid California.. Trust me, if we turn the economy around in any determinable way, Cali. is up for grabs..
I agree with you, I think this cycle will be a shock at how close we get.. I am guessing 6%-8%, clearly within striking distance, not because they love us, but that they are so fed up with Obama..
