The Chicago Tribune endorsed Obama? Seriously? The Trib has endorsed Eisenhower (2x), Dewey, Goldwater, Nixon (4x), Reagan (2x), Bush I (2x), Dole, and Bush II (2x). They haven/t endorsed a non-Republican for president in the last 60 years, or longer. Did anyone check to see if the Tribune Tower was still standing?
