Nolan Finley, who runs the Detroit News editorial page, disagrees: "I've heard people speculate they don't mean as much anymore, but I think they're influential still, particularly in close races. Voters are looking for answers in an election like this one." The decision not to endorse was "an agonizing process," he said, noting that the News has backed every Republican seeking the White House since Ulysses S. Grant.

What a uniter! (NOT!)

At this point you really hate to put too much stock anything until we get the results the world needs election night, or week, or month!

However, I have to say I've NEVER seen anything approaching this snippet from the article:

The Sentinel is among 36 newspapers that endorsed President Bush four years ago and have flip-flopped, to coin a phrase, into Kerry's corner. These include the Chicago Sun-Times, the Los Angeles Daily News and the Memphis Commercial Appeal, according to industry magazine Editor & Publisher. Bush has won over only six papers that backed Al Gore, including the Denver Post, which received 700 letters -- all of them protesting the move.

Nine more papers, including the Cleveland Plain Dealer yesterday, abandoned Bush after four years but did not support the Massachusetts senator. Instead, these papers -- the Detroit News, the Tampa Tribune and the New Orleans Times-Picayune among them -- threw up their collective hands and made no endorsement.

This means 45 newspapers which endorsed The Thing in the White House in 2000 have abstained this year, 36 of them actually endorsing Kerry. Isn't that just amazing?

Sure hope it reflects something good in the works, but, can't take anything for granted, unfortunately.....

The Orlando Sentinel has backed every Republican seeking the White House since Richard M. Nixon in 1968. Not this time.

"This president has utterly failed to fulfill our expectations," the Florida paper said in supporting John F. Kerry, prompting some angry calls and a few dozen cancellations.

Funny how WP "coins" flip-flop.....

turned...and abandoned the Bush Agenda.

Leadership?
Integrity?
Resolve?

How * labels lost their meaning?
