I'm thinking we could cut down on the number of threads if we just listed the papers and media that endorse McCain[red star]Palin.

Do you know any?

I also believe the governor of Alaska has endorsed him, but is thinking of changing her mind.

Editorial Roundup: Newspapers Endorse Obama, McCain - FOXNews.com Elections


Here's a few for each. But, so what??? Is this really going to sway someone's opinion on who to vote for?? Especially after we have all mentioned how biased the papers are.

You missed several important Obama endorsements, including the one by the Washington Post. Are McCain endorsements also missing or are those all he has?

Newspaper endorsements don't sway many people, but I think they speak to the general opinion of McCain and Obama.

Well after all, she's nothing if not mavericky.

Do you think the next version of Webster's will contain the word "mavericky"?

The majority of newspapers are liberal, so that doesn't surprise me at all.

Our local newspaper is very liberal and, of course, they endorse Obama, but it doesn't represent the majority of the people living in the area.

Oh look, the interviewer, Barbara West, is married to one Wade West." I am married to Wade West, an international media consultant to politicians, professionals and organizations. Together we often serve as auctioneers at various fundraising events throughout the state." Barbara West - WFTV News Story - WFTV Orlando

I think that Mr. West might just be a Republican political consultant and fundraiser: NEWSMEAT ▷ Wade West's federal campaign contribution search results
