Rich Miller of the Capitol Fax blog points out that the Chicago Tribune hasn't endorsed a Republican for president since 1872. Democrat Horace Greeley was the lucky recipient of the Tribune's nod, but the excitement must have killed him, he died three weeks after election day--but before the Electoral College had met. Ulysses S. Grant was the winner.
However, the Trib is encouraging the Illinois Democrat to run for president in 2008. Free registration is required for the link.
