| This has been a presidential election that should be held up as a cautionary lesson for the future. The lesson? How low American politics can stoop, and how to avoid it ever happening again. The 2012 presidential race is fraught with confusion and failed expectations, so much so that it is surprising that any reasonable voter would feel comfortable pressing the button for either President Barack Obama or Gov. Mitt Romney.

Comments: This is astounding. Even though the editorial staff is snarkey in this endorsement, the fact that they would endorse Romney is a great surprise. This is one of those big city rags that can be counted on the routinely endorse the D candidate. They must be really hurting from reduced circulation and don't want to further alienate the population of a very red state.

Wow. And another liberal paper, the Orlando Sentinel, endorsed Mitt today too.
It is cratering for Obama. Thank God!

The simple reason that this has gotten so ugly is that Obama has nothing else to run on. Obama has a billion dollars to spend on smears against Romney and that is it.

The Dallas Morning News endorsement of Romney seems to have broken the dam and made it OK for usually dem papers to go for Romney instead.

Yesterday a liberal paper in NY endorsed Romney, today papers in FL and TN that usually blindly endorse the 'D'. I guess they can read the writing on the wall.

These lib papers are endorsing Romney for one reason. Their very survival depends upon Romney's election. They realize another four years of obama means one or two state-run propaganda organs will be allowed.

Wow, what a snarky endorsement. Here's the answer Tennessean: look in the mirror! Your liberal bias is what has divided this country by allowing an unqualified man to ascend to the highest office in the world as a fairy tale and ZERO scrutiny on his lack of experience. I have no idea how how you live with yourselves, I seriously don't. His skin color was only of interest to your leftist co- conspirators and what you all could get out of it. Now you stand here with nothing to show for all this hopey change with your tails between your legs. I'm guessing you are turning to mitt Romney for a turnaround in your dwindling readership and public respect. Sorry for the rant, I feel better.

As a Tennessee resident I am ashamed of the Nashville rag where Al Gore once worked.
Tennessee is solid red and this endorsement comes just before the paper's annual push for subscriptions...ha ha

Liberal newspaper in solid red states are facing the handwriting on the wall. At least they can still read. The snottiness of the endorsement is riddled with liberal double speak. Referring to the Iraq war as started under false premises is classic liberal propaganda.
It also foreshadows the kind of statements that will be presented as Romney starts to make the needed changes in the federal government. As soon as any changes are made, he will be accused of "shredding the social safety net" just like liberals did with welfare reform. But welfare reform was a clear success just as most of the changes Romney will make will be. But the liberal media will still make the charges because they refuse to admit that their programs are failures and need to be tossed out or severely revised.
It IS time for another change, for Conservatism, as represented by Ryan, to push aside the failed liberalism of the past few decades. Time for fiscal sanity. Time for Constitutionally limited government. Time for government regulations to be significantly reduced. Time for the government to get out of the way of free enterprise. Time to turn the Country back over to We the People. Time for We the People to take back control and responsibility of our lives and our government.

We have to change the media, we have to change the tone, we have to stand up and let what happened to Pres. Bush happen to Pres. Romney. My kids never remember a time when the press has not been vicious against us, it is very sad to me. When I was a kid I do not remember the attacking the horrible things they do and say now when it is a conservative person. I think kids like mine, in college are tired of the ugliness and the hate. Everyone in our country can use a long break where we actually let the new President do his job and everyone will just shut up for awhile.

FTA: "[I]t is surprising that any reasonable voter would feel comfortable pressing the button for either President Barack Obama or Gov. Mitt Romney."
As if there weren't a clear choice in this election between a solid, accomplished man and a man-boy failed president.
The Tennessean's staff may be surprised that any reasonable voter whatever could actually manage to cast a ballot for Mitt Romney without suffering severe discomfort - but I just pressed the button for Mitt Romney with no discomfort at all!
The Tennessean's staff should get out of the office more often.

What #8 and #15 said. The "Tennessean" should know all about how "low American politics can stoop". They have perfected "stooping" by their daily defense of the loser-in-chief, obama. This "endorsement", though I guess it is welcomed, would have been called a "left-handed compliment" back in the day. (with apologies to left-handed non-snarky people)

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed bills Wednesday that place new restrictions on firearms and signaled a change for Democrats who traditionally shied away from gun control debate in Colorado - a state with a moderate streak and pioneer tradition of gun ownership and self-reliance. Hickenlooper´s signature of the bills comes exactly eight months after dozens of people were shot in a movie theater in suburban Denver, and on the same day as the executive director of the state´s Corrections Department was shot and killed at his home.

My favorite memory of Ed Koch is a moment from one of the Democratic presidential primaries of the Eighties. He was in his hey-day: mayor of New York, omnipresent media yak-in-the-box, grand rebbe whose hand had to be kissed by any presidential candidate hoping to score with Jewish voters not only in NYC but Florida as well.

Illinois Senate Democrats advanced legislation late Wednesday to restrict semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, pressing forward with new gun control measures in the waning days of the session over the objections of firearms groups. Amid the developments, the Illinois State Rifle Association issued an “urgent alert” to its members warning them that Democratic legislators were trying to push through last-minute anti-gun legislation.

My fellow expatriate, Piers Morgan, appears to be on yet another quest to embarrass himself, this time by taking the Constitution’s amendments one by one and demonstrating in public that he has no idea what they mean. In the wake of Bob Costas’s anti-gun rant, Morgan took to Twitter to complain about the Second Amendment: Piers Morgan ?@piersmorgan The 2nd amendment was devised with muskets in mind, not high-powered handguns & assault rifles.

'Cooling Out’ the Voters

Confidence men know that their victim — “the mark” — is eventually going to realize that he has been cheated. But it makes a big difference whether he realizes it immediately, and goes to the police, or realizes it after the confidence man is long gone. So part of the confidence racket is creating a period of uncertainty during which the victim is not yet sure of what is happening. This delaying process has been called “cooling out the mark.” The same principle applies in politics. When the accusations that led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton first surfaced, he flatly denied them all.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
