The Miami Herald just offered an important endorsement of President Obama in a crucial swing state that is virtually neck-and-neck:
From Miami Herald recommends President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney
The Miami Herald on Friday afternoon announced its recommendation in this year’s presidential race: President Barack Obama.
The newspaper, which endorsed Obama in 2008, posted its decision online on Friday afternoon. It will publish the editorial in print on Sunday.
“In the end, Mr. Obama’s policies across the board — the environment, social policy, taxes and immigration — offer a more generous vision for America. The issues he has fought for, coupled with the lingering doubts about Mr. [Mitt] Romney’s persona and his true intentions, make this a clear choice,” the Herald recommended to its readers.
You can read the full endorsement,
Obama for President. The final paragraph reads:

In the race for president, The Miami Herald recommends BARACK OBAMA.
Surprisingly, The Broward Sun-Sentinel broke for Romney. Broward, where I live, is one of the most liberal counties in Florida, but the BSS stuck its head in the sand this time around, which the Broward New Times
took great joy in explaining today.
By the way, I also posted another diary which I believe is worth a moment of your time, if you happen to give a shit about unarmed undocumented immigrants being assassinated by a Texas DPS sharpshooter in a helicopter, which is totally allowed in Texas.
