Over the years, I have learned to take Newspaper Endorsements with
a grain of Salt. They just aren't as important as they once were.

But this year, with the fact that two candidate not really tied to any past administrations are running, is a different story.

I think the people who have now watch all of the debates and are not yet decided will take their newspapers endorsement into greater consideration. I think people will make their last decisions on two or three things, how their family and friends are voting, how the newspaper and other so-called opinion makers are breaking and finally, just a gut feeling.

So far, Obama has earned the endorsement of 39 daily newspapers and four national magazines. McCain has 15 daily endorsements.

This is going to be a factor and could tip the race.

Most papers have not endorsed as of yet. Get ready for a whole bunch of endorsements coming down the pike in the next few days.

1. We've broken all the molds this year...
When you see the Washington Post endorse Obama...

Well.

The times they are a-changin...

And what a good thing that is!
