The lesser of two evils endorsements such as this do not help much.

I am somewhat surprised at this endorsement.

It might push people over the top who see Kerry as too much of an unknown but aren't keen on Bush's Iraq policy.

Honestly, I don't know how Iraq is going. The MSM has it set up as a monumental blunder like none in history, talk radio would have you believe it was all good. But I'm seeing we underestimated the numbers of insurgents and sympathizers although I still think it's reasonably low (20,000?). We need to re-elect Bush to send a clear and determined signal about America's resolve (Kerry will cut bait and run). But he really does need to get some things in gear in his second term like fiscal restraint. CUT some things, for crying out loud.

I am shocked. I opened today's Dispatch expecting to see their endorsement of JF Kerry.

It has been reported that the publisher has gone beserk over Pres. Bush's decision to go into Iraq and the paper has taken on a decidedly lefty bias.

I am truly shocked, but this is very good for GWB.

I also get the impression that GWB knocked the socks off the publisher and the paper's editor when they flew from Washington to Columbus for a campaign rally here.

Please freep the poll on the front page--54% disagree with Dispatch endorsement of Bush. HELP! Our local news reports these results so freeping appreciated!

Seems like good news all 'round in Ohio:

Columbus Dispatch: FOR Bush
Cincy Enquirer: FOR Bush

What about the Dayton paper? Have they endorsed?
Any other large town papers?

Seems to me these endorsements could be critical to a Bush victory in OHIO.

Central Ohio, Columbus, has always been a conservative city, as well as the Columbus Dispatch. The Dispatch has been toying with liberalism for several years. This is as close as they can get without losing their readers. Have they ever endorsed a Democrat?
