Daily Endorsement Tally: On 'Super Sunday,' Kerry Makes Huge Gains
By Greg Mitchell
Published: October 23, 2004
New York Senator John Kerry continued his raid on newspapers that backed
President George W. Bush in 2000, grabbing 12 new "flip-flops," as well as The
Washington Post. He has now won over at least 23 papers that went for Bush in
2000, while Bush has only earned two Gore papers.
However, Bush got a real prize in Ohio, the Columbus Dispatch.
Kerry now leads Bush 85-68 in endorsements in E&P's exclusive tally, and by
about 12.8 million to 8.5 million in the circulation of backing papers.
In gaining the Orlando Sentinel (one of the switches from Bush), Kerry completed
a sweep of major papers in top swing state, Florida.
And more setbacks for Bush: The Detroit News, which has never endorsed a
Democrat, and backed Bush in 2000, announced that it would sit out the 2004
election, not happy with either candidate. The New Orleans Times-Picayune,
another Bush fan from 2000, said the same thing today in an editorial titled "No
One to Champion."
The Chicago Sun-Times and the Los Angeles Daily News, which both backed Bush in
2000, also endorsed Kerry.
But Bush gained the key Columbus paper. In an editorial it revealed it was "less
than enthused about the choices." It said it was troubled by Bush's fiscal
policies and the war in Iraq but said that neither Kerry's Senate record nor
"his shifting positions during the presidential campaign inspire confidence that
he would provide the strong, resolute leadership America desperately needs."
Bush also picked up the Houston Chronicle and Denver Post, the latter in a
switch from Gore in 2000. William Dean Singleton, now the publisher of that
paper, is known as a strong Bush supporter. His MediaNews Group also owns the
L.A. Daily News, which Singleton allowed to go for Kerry.
Besides those already mentioned, Kerry grabbed nine other papers from the Bush
2000 column, with the endorsement of the Allentown (Pa.) Morning Call, the
Stamford (Ct.) Advocate, the Contra Costa (Ca.)Times, Iowa City Press-Citizen,
Worcester (Ma.) Telegram & Gazette, the Wausau (Wi.) Daily Herald, the Billings
(Mt.) Gazette, Walla Walla (Wa.) Union-Bulletin, and the Bangor (Maine) Daily
News.
Kerry also gained the backing of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in hotly-contested
Pennsylvania, Newsday (Melville, N.Y.), the Buffalo (N.Y.) News, the Des Moines
(Iowa) Register, Louisville Courier-Journal, Las Vegas Sun and Reno
Gazette-Journal in Nevada, The Journal Times in Racine, Wisconsin, The Journal
Gazette in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Asheville (N.C.)
Citizen-Times, Waco (Tex.)Tribune-Herald and The Coloradan.
Bush, however, retained the Austin American-Statesman and Houston Chronicle in
his native Texas, the Cincinnati Enquirer and Cincinnati Post, the Hartford
(Ct.) Courant, Long Beach (Ca.) Press-Telegram, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the
Chronicle of Centralia, Wash., the Express-Times of Easton, Pa., Bowling Green
(Oh.) Daily News, The Ledger of Lakeland, Fla., the Enterprise-Record of
Mocksville, N.C., and the Daily News-Record in Harrisonburg, Va.
Meanwhile, E&P has learned from several sources at the Cleveland Plain Dealer
that the paper's nine-person editorial board decided earlier this week that it
wanted to endorse Kerry but Publisher Alex Machaskee, who has final say, has
decided on Bush. The paper backed Bush in 2000.
This has caused consternation in some quarters at the Plain Dealer, with sources
telling E&P that the endorsement editorial, which was expected to run Sunday,
was put off. One editor told E&P that some at the paper at pushing for, at
least, a dissenting pro-Kerry column.

Well, I just wrote on the Austin American Statesman situation here in
Austin. Amazing. After an editorial based on how bad things are, it's
supposedly justification for giving Bush another try. Pandering crap from
the so-called "hometown" paper. Hey, we tried to tell the nation 4 years
ago that being Gov of Texas (a purely figurehead position) was about as
fine a qualification to be President as having been head of the Chamber of
Commerce in Pullet, Texas.

1) Who is ya'll? It definitely doesn't include me.
2) That's not a straw man. Quit using logical terminology, you're
too damn stupid to ever grasp it.

Like I said, you don't understand logic. You can't prove a negative
and the initial (positive) claim was yours. Therefore, the burden of
proof is yours. You really are a dumbass.

This is interesting, but does anyone (or *should* anyone) base their
vote on what the newspapers say?
This is noteworthy only in the sense people think they want change for
the sake of change alone.

Yes. And they also vote because of what Rush Limbaugh says too.

*****. It's noteworthy only in the sense that more thinking people are
seeing through the facad of the Bush administration.

Can anyone confirm whether the Macon Telegraph was neutral or actually
endorsed Bush in 2000?

snipped a bunch of stuff that is irrelevant...
I have yet to meet one person in my life who made their decision for
President based on who the Vice Presidential candidate was. I figure I will
meet many of those before I ever meet one person who bases that choice on
who the editorial staff of a newspaper endorses.

Freaking curse my eye!!..all Babe Ruth did in 1919 his final year with
Boston (after leading them to a World Series title in 1918) is set a
new major league home run record...and they sold him to the Yankees.
