The largest papers in three swing states endorsed Kerry today: the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Portland Press Herald in Maine. Yesterday Kerry picked up the backing of three other large papers: The Oregonian in the other Portland (which backed President Bush in 2000), The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Bush notched no major endorsements this weekend (that we are aware of), and the current official E&P count stands at ten papers for Kerry and five for Bush, with Kerry holding about a 5-1 advantage in the circulation of the newspapers backing him.
Additionally, as reported on AMERICAblog, the Philly Inquirer has vowed to “writ[e] editorials for each of the next 21 days on a particular issue and why Kerry's the better choice.” Good stuff.
