Obama Scores 15 Newspaper Endorsements On Sunday, McCain Zero

Editor and Publisher:

Barack Obama picked up at least 15 newspaper endorsements this weekend, including six in swing states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri. John McCain, as far as we know, gained none.

The Wisconsin State Journal and The Sun of San Bernardino had backed Bush in 2004. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called Obama's opponent, John McCain, "the incredible shrinking man" who had made a horrific pick for his running mate.

Backing Obama: In Ohio, The Blade in Toledo and the Dayton Daily News; the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Tennessean of Nashville, the Wisconsin State Journal. the Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times, and in California the Fresno Bee, Sacramento Bee, Contra Costa Times, The Herald of Monterrey, and The Sun of San Bernardino (which had picked Bush over Kerry).

Some of these newspapers are in very RED areas of the country. Who would have thunk it? :D

reading is for liberals

[Ged2012]

That's right. Those who believe in LIBERTY prefer improving their brains over nonsensical talk.

I'd like you to find a newspaper out there that caters to the reading level of anyone above the 5th grade...ve­ry few.

and elitists. But wait isn't our Sarah an elitist...­.she admitted drinking a starbuck's latte and actually "reading" the label and isn't she worth over a MIL$

[DeniseD]

What I don't understand is how can she be worth 2 million when she and her husband only make about $150,000/ yr. This doesn't compute unless they inherited lots of money.

McCainPalin has nowhere to go now but down. He can run away from President Bush, but he can't run away from the Republican Party. The Republicans will be regarded from now on as "the party that wrecked America." Over the weeks ahead, as carnage in the economy and the financial markets ramps up, it will become increasingly clear. It is important that this meme be spread through the internet. I urge all commentators to adopt and spread the idea that the Republicans are "the party that wrecked America." It will work because it is the truth.
