My "hometown paper," the Chicago Tribune, is endorsing George W. Bush for President. (Subscription req'd.)

I'm stunned, rubbing my eyes, knocked back on my butt. Am I really reading this? Do my eyes deceive me? Did someone hack into their website?

This is the paper I typically call(ed) "the unregulated arm of the local Democratic Party." (The paper that pried into our Republican candidate Ryan's divorce records and sunk his candidacy with tawdry allegations.)

I wonder how it will affect this blue state? Standing apart from the Dems? The next four weeks should be very interesting (though I can't get my hopes up too high).

Bravo, Trib! For seeing the great issue of the day, for piercing the rhetoric and hysteria, and for thinking clearly and rationally!
