drwexReally not a good week for Romney. Two days of Obama and Gov. Christie heaping praise on each other, then the FT shoots one of its own, and now The Economist has endorsed Obama.
It has to be one of the most tepid endorsements ever, but it's another sign that the financial camp is starting to choose sides, against one of its own. I don't know if they're smelling defeat for Romney and choosing to side with the winner they see as inevitable, or whether they really believe their endorsements matter. Either way it's another uptick for Obama.

I had forgotten that before Sandy knocked everything else out of the headlines, Colin Powell had gone on CBS's "This Morning" to endorse Obama. Just to make sure people haven't forgotten, he's now given Obama permission to use the endorsement in a campaign ad.
