It could not quite top the Chicago Tribune for drama, but it was a bombshell
anyway tonight when the Denver Post -- under MediaNews' GOP-leaning Dean
Singleton -- came out for Obama. It had backed Bush in 2004 (though Gore in
2000). It's as if a dam broke yesterday with the Washington Post
endorsement and now many of the major papers have come out with their
backings for Obama, early on the Web well before landing in print. And
Colorado, of course, is a key swing state.
UPDATE: Now the Chicago Sun-Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Kerry
backers in 2004)--and The Salt Lake Tribune, which backed Bush, have also
endorsed Obama. He now leads McCain 56-16 in newspaper backing. The Salt
Lake paper said McCain lost them when he picked the utterly unqualified Palin
(they wanted him to name the Mormon, Romney). Thanks to Campbell Brown on CNN
for the shout-out for our exclusive tabulations.
UPDATED DAILY ENDORSEMENT TALLY: Obama Widens Lead

NEW YORK The Obama-Biden ticket maintains its strong lead in the race for
newspaper endorsements, picking up 17 more papers in the past day, including
the giant Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune on Friday afternoon (see
separate story), and the Denver Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Salt
Lake Tribune, Kansas City Star, Southwest News-Herald (Ill.) and Chicago
Sun-Times tonight.
This brings his lead over McCain-Palin by this measure to well over 3-1, at
58-16, including most of the major papers that have decided so far. In
contrast, John Kerry barely edged George W. Bush in endorsements in 2004, by
about 220 to 205.
The readership of the 53 newspapers backing Obama now stands at well over 7
million. He gained two biggies yesterday in The Washington Post and San
Francisco Chronicle, and today picked up the Modesto Bee in addition to the
larger papers.
The Columbian in Washington was an unexpected win for Obama, since the
newspaper endorsed President Bush in the 2004 election. The Salt Lake Tribune
also backed Bush. Obama has now picked up at least 10 "flip-flops" of this
type, McCain none.
The Kansas City Star declared: "Despite his age and previous health problems,
McCain chose a vice presidential candidate who is so clearly unqualified for
high office that the thought of her stepping into the presidency is
frightening. That irresponsible decision casts serious doubt on McCain’s
judgment at this point in his political career. And over the past eight
years, Americans have come to know, all too well, the high price of
carelessness and ineptitude in the White House."
The Mountain Valley News in Colorado added to McCain’s endorsement list,
bringing his total to 16 newspapers. The daily circulation of his newspapers
now stands at 1,502,163.
