19. Race shouldn't even be close

I don't trust the corporate media since Bush and the Iraq debacle, but the editorial is good and well placed.

I mean Romney??????????? Even Republicans hate the guy but who else did they have that was any better. I figure the GOP knew Obama would win against McCain/Palin...and I figure they assumed Obama would win a second term but if dems don't figure a way around the filibuster and get the House back they will lose in 2016...and you know why...we all do.
Repubs don't give a damn about the citizens of this country and never have. They only care about power and enriching themselves so to them it's all about winning...by any means possible and everyday that is more important than what is good for the nation. Such a shame.

That's, practically jaw dropping. Is that from a staff writer? bluerum Oct 2012 #1
I'm assuming that its from the New York Times' editorial board since it doesn't say its author. AaronMayorga Oct 2012 #2
Standard practice. The Ed board comes to consensus on an endorsement from the paper. pinto Oct 2012 #8
