Sorry, I guess I can't start a new thread on this - I haven't posted enough messages, apparently. Anyway, I haven't seen this anywhere here and I apologize if it has already been discussed. The Economist magazine, an important business publication, today endorsed President Obama. They also endorsed him in 2008, which was a bit of a shock. This magazine is a very conservative publication from the UK, but widely-read here in the US also. They really would have preferred to endorse Romney, but...well, see for yourself what they have to say about why they chose Obama over Romney. Here's the link:
