Bush Losing MANY Endorsements

Thirty-three newspapers that endorsed Bush in 2000 that are now endorsing Kerry:
Contra Costa Times (Walnut Creek, CA), Daily News (Los Angeles, CA), Ventura County Star (CA), The Oakland Tribune (CA), Santa Cruz Sentinel (CA), Daily Camera (Boulder, CO), The Day (New London, CT), The Stamford Advocate (CT), Orlando Sentinel (FL), Bradenton Herald (FL), Chicago Sun-Times (IL), Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL), Rockford Register-Star (IL), Quad City Times (Davenport, IA), Bangor Daily News (ME), Telegram & Gazette (Worcester, MA), The Flint Journal (MI), The Muskegon Chronicle (MI), Columbia Daily Tribune (MO), Billings Gazette (MT), The Albuquerque Tribune (NM), The Journal-News (White Plains, NY), Star-Gazette (Elmira, NY), The Oregonian (Portland, OR), The Morning Call (Allentown, PA), The Commercial-Appeal (Memphis, TN), Corpus Christi Caller-Times (TX), The Seattle Times (WA) Tri-City Herald (Kennewick, WA), The Sun (Bremerton, WA), Walla Walla Union-Bulletin (WA) and The Wausau Daily Herald (WI).
Plus, don't forget the Lone Star Iconoclast of Bush's hometown, Crawford Texas!
(Then there are those that endorsed Bush in 2000 - and every other Republican Presidential candidate for the last few decades - but are making no endorsements this year; like the Tampa Tribune!)
Only four have switched from Gore 2000 to Bush 2004:
The Denver Post (CO), The Macomb Daily (Mount Clemens, MI), York Daily Record (PA), Herald-Journal (Spartanburg, SC)

Since 1940 when industry trade magazine Editor & Publisher began tracking newspapers during presidential elections, only two Democratic candidates -- Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Bill Clinton in 1992 -- have ever won more endorsements than their Republican opponent. That's because newspaper publishers, who usually sign off on endorsements, tend to vote Republican (like lots of senior corporate executives), which means GOP candidates pick up more endorsements.
Dubya Out The Door
In November 2004!
(To be fair, Bush is getting some exciting endorsements: The head of Iran's security council, Hasan Rowhani, and the al-Qaeda wannabe The Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri
