Add another one: KC Star endorses Kerry

[MissouriTeacher]

This is Kansas City's largest paper, in an important swing state of course.

Not a surprise really, but nice to see nonetheless. I'm not sure what the circulation figures are at the moment.

1. Excellent!

2. That's great! Many in Kansas also read this paper.

Kansas is, of course, still a red state, but the Star's endorsement of Kerry can't hurt.

3. Also many people in the rural areas

surrounding Kansas City read it.

4. Circulation...

275,735

But on Sundays it goes up to 397,776 and yes, this was printed on a Sunday (today). :)

5. As of 2003

300,000 readers weekly and approximately one million on Sunday's newspaper.

6. Great news! The area is surrounded by a LOT of right-wing loons.

Hearing an endorsement for Kerry coming through is very helpful.

Thanks a lot.

7. KC Star is read by most of northwestern Missouri

unfortunatelly it is southern Missouri which is the Republican stronghold. North of I-70 is Democrat and south is Republican

8. Hallelujah! First the St. Louis paper and now the KC Star!

My very long ago home town, but I'd about gien up on Missouri in terms of any chance for progressives.
