Prediction: This Sunday the Washington Post endorses Kerry
Why? Because if they don't they'll be laughed out of town.

4. They'll endorse him and then write tons of smear pieces on him
Screw the WP, they used to be a real newspaper.

7. That's exactly what they'll do!
Been thinking the same thing for a couple of weeks now.

It's really sad how far they've fallen. Catherine Graham must be rolling over in her grave.

3. it doesn't excuse their whoring for Bush they have been doing
and the only reason they would endorse Kerry is to keep their democratic readers.

but i will say that i will still not be surprised if they did endorse bush. and i think whether or not they endorse kerry. they do WANT to endorse bush.

5. well when they get threating letters from republicans it will make them do
a double take. Mostly freepers I'm sure, but all papers who have endorsed Kerry they have attacked.

8. The Post is all about power
They kowtow to whoever is in power. If they sense B*sh is going down, they'll endorse Kerry, because all that matters to the WashPost is being the lapdog of power.

9. good point
can't afford to lose all those subscriptions. More likely they will not endorse anyone.
