If there is one corner of Ohio that should vote overwhelmingly for the re-election of President Barack Obama, it is the Mahoning Valley. We say that not for the tired old reason that the Valley almost always votes Democratic. We say it because when the question “are you better off today than you were four years ago” is asked, the Mahoning Valley can answer yes. And President Obama has earned much of the credit. President Obama endorsed the Simpson-Bowles blueprint that calls for a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. Romney is on record as rejecting even $10 in...

Los Angeles News Group Endorsement: Mitt Romney for president Los Angeles News Group Posted: 10/26/2012 08:00:00 AM PDT Updated: 10/27/2012 10:51:14 AM PDT 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...

President Obama has lately been trying to make hay over Mitt Romney's now-infamous "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" 2008 article, mischaracterizing it as the callous approach of a cold-hearted let-them-eat-cake capitalist that contrasts sharply with his own oh-so-munificent taxpayer-funded bailout plan. To hear the president tell it, Romney's plan would've been a disastrous failure while his own has been a resounding success and proof of the soundness of his economic policies --- but I have a feeling his recent revisits to the issue may have something to do with the possibility that Michigan may turn out to be a little bit...

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel — Wisconsin’s largest and most influential news organization — won’t be endorsing in the very tight presidential and Senate races this year. (Oct. 17 headline: “Marquette Law School Poll finds presidential and Senate races tied in Wisconsin.”) I asked editorial page editor David Haynes about this and he replied in an email: “I’m writing a column on our decision for the Sunday paper. We may post that early (Friday). As a point of history: The JS did not endorse in the 2000 presidential election, and I remember [editor] Marty Kaiser writing at the time that it...

Four frustratingly long years ago, a war-weary and economically battered America took a flier on a savior. It didn’t work out. Now, in 12 days, the nation will return to the polls — to reject, or to ratify, the results of the great Barack Obama experiment. That is, to reject or to ratify the notion that hoping for change is a sound footing for productive national policy.

Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama for president again today. Just came across the AP Wire. No link just yet hut it is fact... And of course, no surprise.

Some serious fur flew on the Morning Joe set today, as Joe Scarborough clashed with David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker. Setting Scarborough off was the magazine's endorsement of Barack Obama that lauded the president for relieving the "national shame inflicted by the Bush administration." Scarborough saracastically asked Remnick "who got paid the bonus for being able to squeeze in, quote, 'the shame of the Bush years?'" Scarborough went on to scald Remnick for the left's hypocrisy in giving President Obama a pass for pursuing many of the same policies that it had accused Bush-Cheney of undermining the Constitution...

Our View: Voters who research the issues and study the candidates will decide Mitt Romney is the most qualified candidate for president. There will be long-term consequences to the decisions made Nov. 6, when the final tally will be reached in the hard-fought presidential campaign pitting the Democratic incumbent, Barack Obama, against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama or Romney will assume the responsibilities and issues inherent with the presidency, along with the parallel challenges for which the leader of the free world will be held accountable. Before entering the polling place, voters should carefully research the positions held by Obama...

After nearly four years of economic stagnation, massive unemployment, record-setting debt and government intrusions into the economy that have paralyzed the private sector, the United States needs a new direction. For this reason, The Dispatch urges voters to choose Republican Mitt Romney for president in the Nov. 6 election. In 2008, The Dispatch warned of the problems that would result if Barack Obama were chosen as president. Noting the scant experience that Obama offered the nation in 2008 — eight unremarkable years in the Illinois Senate and less than one term in the U.S. Senate — the newspaper said: “A...

As interesting as the Orlando Sentinel’s choosing to endorse Mitt Romney is, what the editorial actually says is more so. It is fair, but fair is brutal. As Shakespeare put it, “I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.” On the economy: If that were the only metric that mattered, the president might credibly argue that the U.S. economy was finally on the right track. Unfortunately for him, and for the American people, he can’t. On the next four years: We have little confidence that Obama would be more successful managing the economy...

The Chicago Jewish Star an independent twice-monthly general interest Jewish newspaper wrote an editorial endorsing Governor Romney over their Hometown President Barack Obama. “It is not only that Mr. Obama thus deserves to be a one-term proposition; it is that Mr. Romney is simply the better bet for our country.” writes the Chicago Jewish Star. The Following are excerpts of the editorial: In many ways this is still a post-9/11 world. The threat of Islamic terror, a depressed and failing economy, an unsure future for a troubled healthcare system, a genocidal-spewing Iran, an unbalanced Middle East- these are some of...

The most famous and revered pastor in America, Billy Graham, is calling on voters to cast a ballot for their faith in full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and other newspapers. Graham’s picture appears prominently in the ads, next to copy that reads, “As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last.” It continues, “I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of...

Two days after his lackluster first debate performance, President Barack Obama's re-election hopes got a timely boost. The government's monthly jobless report for September showed the nation's unemployment rate fell below 8 percent for the first time since he took office. If that were the only metric that mattered, the president might credibly argue that the U.S. economy was finally on the right track. Unfortunately for him, and for the American people, he can't.

So Lindsay Lohan endorsed Romney, and while my initial reaction was that for the sake of the country she should probably keep that to herself, I realized a greater implication...

I've done this with Ahmadinejad (and many people understandably thought it was real), Putin, and Kim Jong Un. This is the first one where the endorsement is the real deal (the quote is real, the pic is still photoshopped).

FOR THE EDITORIAL BOARD He projects passion for prosperity, freedom and a military so strong that no force on earth would stand a chance of harming us. It is with great enthusiasm that we encourage Americans to vote for Mitt Romney, who may be exactly the person we need for a renewed focus on life, liberty and private pursuits of happiness. In a meeting with The Gazette’s editorial board on Monday, Gov. Romney laid out a plan and vision for America that is in stark contrast to the president’s. He summarized President Obama’s philosophy as “government-centered, government-intensive ... which has...

Nicki Minaj thanked President Obama for “understanding” her on Monday, after he expressed doubt that she had actually backed Mitt Romney in a buzzed-about mixtape track. During a radio interview with Orlando’s Power 95.3, Obama was asked about a new Minaj rhyme that appeared to endorse the GOP candidate. "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b----es are f---ing up the economy," Minaj raps on the track "Mercy," part of Lil Wayne's latest release.
