12 Newspapers Endorse Obama Today; Gramm-pa McCain? Zero.

By GottaLaff

12-0:

Barack Obama picked up at least 12 newspaper endorsements this weekend, including six in swing states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri. John McCain, as far as we know, gained none.

Time for Grammps to crank up the smears again. I posted about one of the papers yesterday, the one that called Grammps "the incredible shrinking man" who had made a horrific pick for his running mate.

The Wisconsin State Journal and The Sun of San Bernardino had backed Bush in 2004. [...] Backing Obama: In Ohio, The Blade in Toledo and the Dayton Daily News; the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Tennessean of Nashville, the Wisconsin State Journal. the Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times, and in California the Fresno Bee, Sacramento Bee, Contra Costa Times, The Herald of Monterrey, and The Sun of San Bernardino (which had picked Bush over Kerry).

E&P is charting every endorsement and the circulation size of each paper (see new chart on Monday). So far Obama leads by a 21-9 margin with at least 300 to go.
