Swing State Endorsements
I thought it'd be interesting to see who the major papers in the battleground states are endorsing. A sampling:
Cincinnati: Bush
Cleveland: Decided Not to Endorse Either
Columbus: Bush
Dayton: Kerry
Toledo: Kerry
Palm Beach: Kerry
Miami: Kerry
Orlando Sentinel: Kerry
Daytona: Kerry
Minneapolis: Kerry
Detroit: Kerry
Grand Rapids: Bush
Tucson: Kerry
Phoenix: Bush
Little Rock: Bush
Denver Post: Bush
Rocky Mountain News (Denver): Bush
Des Moines: Kerry
Philadelphia: Kerry
Pittsburgh: Kerry
Chicago: Bush
Overall, Kerry leads with endorsements. According to the trade journal "Editor & Publisher," Kerry has won the endorsements of 128 papers across the country compared with 105 for Bush. And 35 newspapers that endorsed Bush in 2000 switched to supporting Kerry this year.
And I know Georgia isn't a battleground state, but the AJC endorses Kerry.
