Since you're from Ohio, you may note that the Judge Grey who's book I sent the ISBN for was a Judge of the Ohio Court of Appeals when he wrote the book.
The Denver Post's endorsement of Bush is nothing short of comical. As support goes, this is weaker than how I would look trying to keep up in an MLS midfield.
Re: Chicago Tribune Article There is one exception in the history of the Trib: they endorsed (ex-)Republican Teddy Roosevelt when he ran as a third-party candidate. Other than that, they have endorsed a Republican in every election since 1872. So btousley is dead wrong. We got our first issue of the Sunday NY Times this weekend. It's 1000 times better than the Trib.
It is with great interest that the "Taliban Times," the "Al Qaeda Gazette" and Al Jazerra media all strongly endosed Kerry/Edwards! I understand the terrorists are collaborating and looking to open a joint Massachusetts/New York field office and recruiting center in Martha's Vineyard!
Speaking of which, I'm having a hell of a time with the crossword in Sunday's Al Qaeda Gazette. Does anyone here know an eight-letter word for "Continent of the Great Satan"?
First +rep in weeks... thanks... but self-esteem is high! The fact that Ted Kennedy is more conservative than Democratic challenger for President goes far to inflate self-esteem!

The above is from Editor and Publisher, who submit this about Florida and about the election generally: FLORIDA: Bush is in big trouble, if newspapers have any sway. Every large paper has gone for Kerry, with the Orlando Sentinel and other papers switching from Bush in 2000, and The Tampa Tribune (formerly for Dubya) sitting it out... ...So what does this add up? A drum roll please…..Kerry by 286 electoral votes to 252 for Bush. But if Florida goes to Bush, he wins, and E&P will never put any weight in newspapers endorsements ever again.
