The Trib was probably afraid of reprisals if they didn't endorse. They haven't endorsed a Democrat since 1884 if I'm not mistaken. Colonel McCormick is no doubt rolling in his grave.

>>Robert Rutherford McCormick (July 30, 1880 – April 1, 1955) was a Chicago newspaper baron and owner of the Chicago Tribune. A leading isolationist, opponent of United States entry into World War II and of the increase in Federal power brought about by the New Deal, he continued to champion a traditionalist course long after his positions had been eclipsed in the mainstream.
