Newspaper endorsements don't mean as much any more. Still, I'll take it. To paraphrase Lyndon Johnson: "When you've lost the editorial boards, you've lost middle America."
According to Editor & Publisher, Republican Mitt Romney is stunning the newspaper world, earning 112 endorsements from editorial boards around the country compared to the President’s 84. Most large market newspapers like the The New York Times and The Washington Post have stuck with Obama, but have run less than glowing assessments of his accomplishments. So while a newspaper endorsement may not mean what it once did, these conversions could be telling of a national trend.
