[Tesibria]

1. Two more Michigan papers endorse Kerry (one switch)

MICHIGAN: Ironwood Daily Globe - Endorsed Kerry, according to the Detroit Free Press.

MICHIGAN: Petoskey News-Review - Note: The Petoskey News-Review endorsed Bush in 2000, according to its endorsement of Kerry this year. John Kerry will bring understanding and energy to the presidency.

2. Tepid Kerry endorsement in my local paper, the Herald Dispatch...

...whose editorial board did drink some of that poisonous Kool Aid. Not a very well-written editorial, either-doesn't discuss in depth the issues they mention and many others at play in this election.

[Tesibria]

5. two questions

(a) do you have a link?
(b) What state/city/town (so we can add to the state-by-state tally at link below)

thanx!!

[libbygurl]

7. Sorry for the misleading name-that was the Huntington Herald Dispatch

...in Huntington, WV, to which you already provided a convenient link above.

[Tesibria]

8. ah -- thanx!!

one thing i've learned this year is just how many papers across the nation have same/similar names (and -- how FEW have the info on their main page !!!)

[Tesibria]

3. Wisconsin Eagle Herald: Bush should not be re-elected

WISCONSIN: Marinette EagleHerald - Bush should not be re-elected, according to the Associated Press.
(Not an express endorsement of Kerry - but a NO to Bush.)

[Tesibria]

4. OHIO: Suburban News Publications (22 papers) for Kerry

OHIO: Suburban News Publications - John Kerry for President. Archived Endorsement. Note: Per the Subburban News Publications, it "has never made a Presidential endorsement. Our 22 community newspapers do not regularly cover national politics, and we have always considered it more important to offer readers our opinions on Central Ohio candidates and issues. This year is different. The stakes in next week's Presidential election are so high, and the contrast between the candidates is so stark, that we cannot in good conscience keep silent. SNP strongly endorses Sen. John Kerry for President and urges voters to support him on Nov. 2."

[Maeve]

6. I loved that!

My boys used to deliver the local SNP paper and I was shocked to see that announcement on the front page Thursday!

[SodoffBush]

9. What a slam on Bush!

Nice to hear that the Dispatch got slammed as well.

[lebkuchen]

10. You're gonna have a busy Sunday, Tesibria

Thanks for your post. I prefer to have Kerry/Bush endorsements together by state, for better reading, which you have done. Appreciate it.

[Tesibria]

11. Baltimore Sun and Others (DE, N, WI) Endorse Kerry

DELAWARE: Delaware News Journal (New Castle-Wilmington) - John Kerry is the best choice.

21. Cincinnati's City Beat--Kerry

24. Ann Arbor News Half-Ass Bush Endorsement

http://www.mlive.com/columns/aanews/index.ssf?/base/new...

What a piece of crap. Their only Kerry criticisms are RW bullshit talking points, and they admit that Bush is failing. Their title looks like they aren't going to endorse anyone, and then at the end they endorse Dubya as the lesser of two evils. This paper is sooo out of touch with the town (although Ann Arbor is not as liberal as it's reputation). ANN ARBOR NEWS SUCKS!


Country deserves better candidates for president

excerpt:
Our concentration on national security does not reflect a belief that domestic issues are inconsequential. However, domestic challenges are less significant than beheadings, suicide bombers and terrorist cells almost certainly planning more gruesome attacks against our country and its citizens.

George W. Bush is the better of the two candidates to defend this country.

And, we hope for better choices from both parties in four years.

[Bossy Monkey]

25. My hometown paper, The State (Cola, SC) very weakly to Bush column

I'm the idiot running around to other state fora asking people to write letters to the editor protesting Bush endorsements, but this is so tepid as to be a Kerry endorsement in all but name. I think the cowards are just ducking subscription cancellations from Lexington County:
Posted on Sun, Oct. 31, 2004
Resolve on war makes flawed Bush our reluctant choice


PRESIDENT BUSH has disappointed us in many ways.

He promised to be a uniter, not a divider. Yet faced with our nation’s second Pearl Harbor — a tremendous opportunity to set aside differences and pull the country together — he continued to pursue an ideological domestic agenda, from attacking affirmative action to dismantling environmental protections. And his policies have been not only divisive, but often destructive. Consider:

• Rather than asking us to sacrifice in a time of war, he has doled out tax cut after tax cut, and taken us from a nearly balanced budget to staggering deficits.

• Rather than cutting spending while cutting taxes, he has presided over the largest increase in the federal government since Lyndon Johnson — increasing federal spending on education (a state function) by 65 percent, and creating a whole new Medicare entitlement.

(uh, etc.)

[Tesibria]

28. this is great - thanx

[Tesibria]

29. Could this also affect the

New Mexico vote? Others? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not sure of (all of) the states where members of the Navajo Nation reside.

And -- what impact does it have, if you know?

[lebkuchen]

30. AZ is a conservative state

and I'd like to think the Apache and Hopi organizations are also endorsing Kerry. Kerry is only 5% behind in AZ. At any rate, the Native American vote sure can't hurt!

[Tesibria]
