It's been a truism for most of this cycle that the financial community (which got all kinds of largesse from Obama and no pesky investigations or indictments) has been reluctant to turn on its own, which is to say criticize Romney for the economic nonsense he spouts.
That may be changing, with the FT publishing an op-ed by Martin Wolf (who is sure as hell not an Obama-lover) titled "Romney would be a backward step". His column isn't likely to swing any votes - it's full of the econ wonkery that FT is famous for and most people won't even make head or tail of it. However, the headline "Even the Financial Times critiques Romney's economic plans" will be read.
