Good News From "Editor and Publisher:"
NEW YORK Today, three more important papers endorsed Senator John Kerry, who has been on a roll this weekend in E&P's exclusive daily tabulation of newspapers throwing their support to one candidate or the other in the hard-fought race for the White House.
Today the three largest papers in their respective swing states endorsed Kerry: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Portland PRess-Herald in Maine.
Yesterday Kerry also picked up the backing of three large papers: The Oregonian in the other Portland (which had backed President Bush in 2000), the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Bush has notched no major endorsements so far this weekend, that we are aware of, and the current official E&P count stands at ten papers for Kerry and five for Bush, with Kerry holding about a 5-1 advantage in the circulation of the newspapers backing him.
