The Denver Post, which had backed George W. Bush in 2004 and is owned by Republican-leaning William Dean Singleton, has endorsed Barack Obama for president. So did the Chicago Sun-Times, the Kansas City Star, the Southwest News-Herald (Ill.) and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And the icing on the cake: two more big Bush backers in 2004-- The Salt Lake Tribune and Las Cruces (N.M) Sun-News. McCain picked up the Tampa Tribune, but this was offset by an Obama endorsement from the more influential Miami Herald.
As of Saturday, the Editor & Publisher website had Barack Obama leading McCain in major newspaper endorsements by a whopping 64-18. In case you were wondering, the photo above was from an Obama campaign appearance in St. Louis, where he drew well in excess of 100,000.
