Ohio papers split on endorsments

Newspapers are generally split on their endorsements of the presidential candidates, with two of the largest in Ohio each taking a different side.

The Plain Dealer backed President Barack Obama, saying he has led the nation back from the brink of depression, and that Romney has flip-flopped on his foregin policy views.

The Columbus Dispatch, however, claims that Obama has failed, saying that Romney has spent his life working to turn around troubled institutions. The dispatch has a told-you-so sort of feel about it, saying that they warned their readers about the dangers of voting for Obama in 2008.
