Kerry Takes Lead Over Bush... in Newspaper Endorsements. One newspaper that is endorsing Bush is a suprise to me. Hint its a Colorado Newspaper, and it is not in Denver or in Colorado Springs (that paper as long as it was owned by Freedom Communcations never endorsed any person for an poltical office) . Also go South, and better yet just read this story.
