Obama in Landslide: 273-142 (in Newspaper Endorsements)

The Obama-Biden ticket maintains its strong lead in the race for daily newspaper endorsements. The Democratic team now leads by 273 to 142, a nearly 2-1 margin and an even wider spread in the circulation of those papers. The circulation of the Obama-backing papers stands at over 21 million, compared with McCain's 7 million. Obama's lopsided margin, including most of the major papers that have decided so far, is in stark contrast to John Kerry barely edging George W. Bush in endorsements of dailies in 2004 by 213 to 205.
