Splitting From Bush

Editor and Publisher is keeping track of the nation's daily newspapers' Presidential endorsements. Of those they've posted so far, three that endorsed Bush in 2000 have endorsed Kerry this time around. None of the papers that supported Gore in 2000 have endorsed Bush. We can only hope this is a good sign.
