Defections from the Bush Camp to The Kerry Camp:

.... 10 newspapers who supported Bush in 2000, now refuse to endorse anyone.

(as of Oct 26,2004 5:00 pm)

... UNFIT TO LEAD ...

in 2000?

I just started tracking 2 weeks ago. But if we use the numbers above it would indicate a fairly even split, since a circulation of 5 million has left the Bush camp.
