This has got to be making Republicans crazy. So far, 36 newspapers have abandoned Bush and are endorsing John Kerry. That's 36 papers that endorsed Bush in 2000.
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.
How many papers that endorsed Al Gore in 2000 are now endorsing Bush? A paltry six. Factor in another nine papers that have abandoned Bush without endorsing Kerry. That's 45 newspapers that once supported Bush but have changed their opinions of his ability to lead this country as our President.
