The Latest Endorsements:
38 NEWSPAPERS SWITCH, ENDORSING OBAMA AFTER ENDORSING BUSH IN '04!
From Editor & Publisher: 160 newspapers have endorsed Obama and only 59 have endorsed McCain.

Think about it--why are so many conservatives and newspapers switching? They know Obama is the best candidate for a better country and a better world!
**i'd also semi-add Peggy Noonan, David Brooks and half-way acknowledge George Will ... though they haven't endorsed Obama, they've, on occasion walked to the edge.
