1. The question is...

What in the hell are those Bush papers thinking?

[Cha]

6. That's certainly My Question!

Four former bush papers support Kerry now and the bush papers all supported bush in 2000..and certainly haven't learned anything in 4 frickin' long years.

9. Bush Papers Are thinking about Lucrative Buyout Offers from TV Networks

The Boosh FCC will allow networks to buy a lot more newspapers.

2. There should be a flurry of new endorsements now that the debates

are over.... So far it appears that only the very RW papers are backing Bush* and they certainly aren't very mainstream.

3. Kerry gets 4 papers that endorsed Bush in 2000.

Bush gets 0 that endorsed Gore in 2000. Poor baby chimp is having a bad week all around.

4. The Day -- New London, CT

That's my hometown paper!! Thanks for posting that!! :D

Are there no papers endorsing Chimp this time that endorsed Gore in 2000?

5. For Bush: The Dallas Morning News (B) 515,000 in 1992

Don't know what current circulation is, but it was 515,000 in 1992. One can assume it's more than that, now.
