By: Greg Mitchell and Dexter Hill With less than four weeks until voters have their say in this year?s presidential race, some newspapers have already cast their vote. As in 2004, E&P will be charting every editorial endorsement, and presenting a chart showing the tally so far -- and circulation numbers for each paper.
So far, the Obama-Biden ticket leads with 11 editorial endorsements, but the McCain-Palin ticket is close behind, picking up nine endorsements.
Taking a look at the newspapers? daily circulations, though, McCain has the edge with 1,138,889 readers to Obama?s 901,011. We?ll keep you posted as more editorial endorsements are announced but send any you see to gmitchell@editorandpublisher.com.
Here is our first chart, which includes latest circulation numbers and in parens the candidate endorsed in 2004 (B=Bush, K=Kerry).
