This is actually pretty interesting, since the Denver Post is considered a center-right paper. \u00a0On 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<\/i> running as a centrist.<\/p>\n
