From Editor and Publisher:

<snip>
Senator John Kerry continued his raid on newspapers that backed President George W. Bush in 2000, grabbing 17 new "flip-flops," as well as The Washington Post. He has now won over at least 28 papers that went for Bush in 2000, while Bush has only earned two Gore papers.

Kerry now leads Bush 112-69 in endorsements in E&P's exclusive tally, and by about 14.4 million to 8.6 million in the circulation of backing papers.

1. Democrat-endorsing share of papers

from 48% in 2000 to 62% in 2004.

This *must* reflect at least some shift in the electorate.

2. Are there any papers that endorsed Gore in 2000 that have

flipped to Bush this go around? Just wondering.

3. According to the article, two

"New York Senator John Kerry continued his raid on newspapers that backed President George W. Bush in 2000, grabbing 17 new "flip-flops," as well as The Washington Post. He has now won over at least 28 papers that went for Bush in 2000, while Bush has only earned two Gore papers."

So the net pickup is 26 out of 181.
