Newspapers Presidential Endorsements Scorecard

On a day where The Anchorage Daily News shockingly endorsed Barack Obama for President, the numbers totaled by Sunday 26 October show Obama with a nearly 3 -1 advantage in newspaper endorsements. Expect a few more to be added to his total in the coming days. And of significance is the circulation of the newspapers making the endorsements. Endorsements of John McCain strongly tend to be by those with a much smaller circulation than those that endorsed Obama. Newspaper endorsements are a very good leading indicator on what will happen in election, as history has often shown in past years.
