For president Despite missteps, Bush is better able to steer nation through difficulties ahead Sunday, October 24, 2004
how much do you think newspaper endorsements sway people? I'm just not too sure. But..... any paper that endorses the Pres is a friend of mine.
probably not much.. only thing that tends to make news is when a traditionally Republican paper (like Dispatch) endorses a Dem, or vice versa (as if WaPo hadn't endorsed Kerry)
Good. Thank God.
In Ohio, I think they will sway a lot. It's amazing how many solidly democratic elements, from newspapers to life long democratic mayors are coming out in support of President Bush. And it's not just their endorsements, these people are making the case of why President Bush is good for Ohioans...and why Kerry wouldn't be.
Glad W got this one.
First the Plain Dealer, now the Dispatch.....GO BUCKEYES!!!
Endorsements just keep the momentum going...they have a similar effect as the media annoucning early election results....i.e., people sway towards a winner and hold off going out ( as in voting) for a "loser".
As Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing"
I lived in Columbus for six years. Columbus is good hard-working people.
are you from Ohio? whats the real feeling there on GWB do you have your finger on it?
I've been to Columbus.. it is a very nice, middle-class city... I had been expecting "Rust Belt", and was totally surprised

For some strange reason, Toledo seems to be one of the focal points for the candidates in Ohio...it gets hit repeatedly by both sides. My son and I talk often about how things are going back there.
Ohio has a lot of Democratic voting union members, and it's been through the economic roller coaster. But a strange thing has been happening there this year; a lot of straunch Democrats are saying "we are better off under President Bush". This is coming from life long Democratic Mayors who are well liked to traditionally liberal newspapers.
Sure, a lot of people will simple vote for the Democrat but a lot are listening to "their own" and it's making sense to them.
When the Dayton Daily News endorses Bush You've got a story.
Yes, that's true. However, this is huge. The Dispatch tends to lean to the left, so this endorsement speaks volumes.
In appreciation, I will buy the Sunday addition tomorrow.
woah - that's a surprise to me. The dispatch has been blasting Bush.
Kerry admitted to committing "atrocities" in testimony to Congress. This makes him highly qualified to be C.I.C. in the minds of far too any people in this Nation. Reverse it for a minute,,,if Bush had of done such a thing would he have gotten far in politics? His opponents in his own party would have outed him long ago. Doubtful if he would have even entered politics at all, except to vote.
Buh Bye
Hope you enjoyed your 25 minutes of being a TROLL!
Well, I'm sure it was past his/her bedtime anyway!....LOL
