\nwith a dead-on indictment of the Ignoramus in Chief. But here’s a pleasant surprise<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> from a totally
\nRepublican newspaper: “Why We Cannot Endorse President Bush For Re-Election.” <\/P>
\nAs stewards of the [Tampa] Tribune’s editorial voice, we find it unimaginable
\nto not be lending our voice to the chorus of conservative-leaning newspapers endorsing the
\npresident’s re-election. We had fully expected to stand with Bush, whom we endorsed in 2000. …
\n
\nwar in Iraq, his record deficit spending, his assault on open government and his failed promise to
\nbe a “uniter not a divider” within the United States and the world.<\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>

\nwon endorsements from the Chicago Tribune, Rocky Mountain News in Denver, the Arizona
\nRepublic in Phoenix, and the Dallas Morning News. <\/P>
\n
\nlarge and small across the country: 19 for Kerry, 15 for Bush.<\/P>

\ngives Kerry a lukewarm edge on energy
