2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Dark Sage]

Utah is the most Republican state in the country.

The Salt Lake Tribune is the biggest newspaper in Utah.

The Salt Lake Tribune just endorsed Mr. Obama instead of Mr. Romney.

Do the math.

Do the math.

So the answer to your math is that the Salt Lake Tribune picked their own liberal beliefs over the Conservative beliefs of the populous. Mind you it is not unusual for a liberal editorial board to go against their own conservative readers. The Dallas Morning News endorsed a Democrat for the Texas U.S. Senate Seat despite the populous clearly favoring Ted Cruz.

I just find it ironic, Roy. The Salt Lake Tribune was the last newspaper in the country that I would have expected to endorse Mr. Obama.

* Shrugs * Like I said the news paper does not always reflect it's readers, and more than likely the readers will rebel against it.

I'm not saying that Utah will go blue because of this.

I would expect New York to go red before THAT happened.

By the way, speaking of newspapers, Mr. Obama also got an endorsement from one with quite a few more readers...
