Interesting tidbit here:

quote:
Kerry gained the editorial backing of at least 30 papers while Bush won the support of 17 that we know of, giving Kerry the overall lead by 45-30 in E&P's exclusive tally. Kerry has more large papers on his side, maintaining his "circulation edge" at nearly 3-1, with approximately 8.7 million circ to Bush's 3.3 million. (We will post a complete tally Monday.)

Bush did pick up several major papers this weekend, earning the endorsements of the Chicago Tribune, The Arizona Republic, Denver's Rocky Mountain News, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, The Indianapolis Star, and The Dallas Morning News.

Among Kerry's new supporters were five papers that had backed Bush in 2000: the Bradenton Herald in Florida, the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo., the Columbia Daily Tribune in Missouri, the Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, Ill., and The Muskegon (Mich.) Chronicle.

Three other papers that backed Bush in 2000 announced they would not support either candidate this year: The Tampa Tribune, the Wichita Falls Times Record News in Texas, and the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal.

Daily Endorsement Tally: Kerry Carries Louisville, Bush Gets Riverside



By Greg Mitchell

Published: October 19, 2004 12:35 PM EDT

NEW YORK Sen. John Kerry has widened his lead in daily newspaper endorsements, landing five of the seven new additions to E&P's exclusive tally. He holds a 53-36 edge over President Bush.

It also pushes the Democrat past the 9 million mark in circulation total for backing papers. Bush trails with about 5 million.

Each candidate picked up one major paper. Kerry nabbed the Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky., while Bush secured The Press-Enterprise in Riverside, Calif.

Others going for Kerry: Merced Sun-Star (Calif.), The Standard-Times (New Bedford, Mass.), The Daily Astorian (Astoria, Ore.), and the East Oregonian (Pendleton, Ore.). In addition to the Riverside paper, Bush picked up The News-Review (Roseburg, Ore.).

Several major papers have yet to be heard from, including: The Washington Post, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Columbus Dispatch, New York Post, Boston Herald, New York Daily News, Chicago Sun-Times, Saint Paul Pioneer-Press, and Denver Post, among others.

Kerry has now gained at least nine "switches" -- papers that backed Bush and now support the challenger. (See chart below.) At least three other papers that endorsed Bush in 2000 have declined to back either candidate this year. Bush has picked up one "switch" from a paper that supported Gore in 2000.

Among the latest editorials, the Sun-Star wrote that Kerry "offers an experienced, steady choice to lead the nation in a different direction." The News-Review backed Bush, "with reservation," but explaining that his "conservative agenda is more attuned" than Kerry's to local residents.

Our complete tally follows, with notes on who the paper backed in 2000, if known (B for Bush and G for Gore):

Interesting tidbit here:


your comment on The Daily Camera (Boulder) as pushing Bush in the prev election is interesing. I will check the validity of this, but if true is VERY interesting as most of CO is pro-Rep/Cons but Boulder isnt...




PS: upon further consideration, the Boulder paper is only listed on an endorsement for one date, and without link...doesnt seem too solid, esp considering the majority of the articles in said paper|:eyes:
