Doesn't necessarily mean a Romney victory, but it is a very bad sign for Obama.
Wisconsin State Journal endorses Romney, becomes latest paper to flip from Obama in 08.
In the final hours of the presidential campaign, the largest endorsing newspaper in the swing state of Wisconsin has thrown its support to GOP nominee Mitt Romney:
This is not an easy endorsement to make.
Obama is the more likeable candidate and inspiring speaker. Obama inherited a mess from his predecessor, Republican President George W. Bush, who was even more disappointing than Obama has been.
Obama got us out of Iraq. He pressured public schools to reform. He gave the final order that got Osama bin Laden.
But this election is about jobs, the slow economy and Washingtons dysfunction. Our leaders cant even pass a budget, much less stabilize soaring debt thats burdening our children and grandchildren.
Obama failed to embrace his own commissions bipartisan debt deal. Ryan, serving on the commission, similarly balked at the solid and comprehensive agreement.
But Obama is the president. The buck stops with him. This is now Obamas economy, even though the GOP shares in the blame for partisan games.
This endorsement may be even more significant since the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decided not to endorse either presidential candidate this year.
The State Journal becomes the eighth large paper in a Swing State to flip from an Obama endorsement in 2008. Newsdays endorsement of Romney this weekend was also a reversal of the papers 08 Obama endorsement, as was the New York Daily News endorsement.
