The Orlando Sentinel which endorsed Obama in 2008 or The Salt Lake Tribune, who endorsed President Obama instead of the guy who is associated with the home town industry, so too speak.
Even though they endorsed Obama in 2008, to dismiss the savior of the Salt Lake Olympics who could get a shout out from the editorial staff is a big slap in the face...

They nailed it.
I've read that the Tribune has a history of mixed endorsements between R and D, suggesting they are pretty independent.
When your independent home state paper endorses the other guy and your other home state (MA) has you behind by about 20 points, the folks who know you and your record best are saying NO WAY!
