The Denver Post endorses Obama

This is actually pretty interesting, since the Denver Post is considered a center-right paper.  On the other hand, it makes sense, since a lot of people consider Obama a center-right (or at least) center candidate, and much of the DP's criticism of Romney is for not running as a centrist.

I'm not thrilled by all the reasons the DP likes Obama — but they're mostly in areas that I'm not thrilled by Obama, either, and the only viable alternative is far worse in all of them.

I have no idea to what degree such newspaper endorsements carry any electoral weight any more, but given Colorado's status as a "swing state" this year, it certainly can't hurt.

(Cue HYPER-CAPITALIZED and heavily-exclamation-pointed!!!!! attacks on "this liberal rag" in the newspaper site comments in 5 .. 4 … 3 …)
