1. BushBots have to be getting jumpy

When they include the Amarillo Globe-News and its staggering circulation of 1,105 in their list of endorsements.

2. I don't see Crawford's Lonestar Iconoclast there...

The mouse that ROARED!
Circulation in their case is irrelevant. :D

5. The source said they only counted daily newspapers

But I think the Iconoclast should count. Make it 12 papers for Kerry. :)

3. Hmmm..those darn flip-floppers!

LOL!

Notice how none of the papers listed for Bush 04 went with Gore in 2000.

4. Don't forget the Crawford Iconoclast, a truly independent newspaper.

6. This is a great trend, but (this is my opinion, I don't have data) sadly

most people don't read newspapers and certainly fewer even read the editorial page.

7. Editor and Publisher is keeping a daily tally

This is important. News professionals are news junkies. They are paying attention to the news. Hence their endorsements are based on news, at least in part.
