This is pretty cool:
What a day. The Denver Post, which had backed George W. Bush in 2004 and is owned by Republican-leaning William Dean Singleton, this evening endorsed Barack Obama for president.
This followed this afternoon's surprises: the Chicago Tribune, which has never in 150 years endorsed a Democrat, backed Obama, as did its fellow Tribune paper, the Los Angeles -- which had endorsed no one in more than 30 years. It seems like a dam broke yesterday with the unexpectedly early choice of Obama by the Washington Post.

Here it is.
In unsteady times, it may seem obvious to gravitate toward the veteran politician, but holy crap -- in this campaign, the old guy has been an absolute fucking disaster.I don't want to be cocky, but could eight years of peace and prosperity be right around the corner? : )

The Salt Lake Tribune, another Singleton paper, and endorser of Bush in 2004, also endorsed Obama today.
