While many newspapers around the country decide which, if any, presidential candidate they want to endorse, two of Virginia’s largest newspapers remain undecided.

The Virginian Pilot and The Roanoke Times have so far decided to keep with the trend they set in the 2008 presidential election when they chose to back neither Obama or McCain.  There is still time for these newspapers to endorse a candidate, but it does seem likely that they will not endorse anyone in this crucial swing state.
