Newspaper endorsements compared
Editor & Publisher has been a list of presidential endorsements. I’ve mapped them, looking for geographic trends. For the papers that have endorsed either Barack Obama or John McCain, I have also mapped their 2004 and 2000 endorsements. It’s interesting to see the colors change — or if they do. E&P recently reported that Republicans usually win the endorsement race. So far this year, Obama is leading by a wide margin.
= Democrat 
= Republican 
= Not available or no endorsement (2000 and 2004)

The maps will be updated as more endorsements are announced.

Take a state-by-state look at who won every election since 1789. The site is fascinating! I remember watching the 1984 election results on TV — that’s the map I remember seeing.
h/t Kevin Cobb!
Wow! This is a really amazing work. Good luck with the covering of the election, Erica. I’m working November 4, but the results won’t be ready here in Sweden then, so I gueess I will watch the TV at home all night.
