It should be noted that Bush’s hometown paper endorsed Kerry in ‘04, and Kerry’s hometown paper endorsed Bush.

Point taken!UPDATE: Ms. Lopez, Not so fast! It should be further noted that there are two hometown newspapers for Kerry, the Globe and the Herald. The “establishment” (read liberal) Globe endorsed Kerry while the “upstart” (read conservative) Herald endorsed Bush. Also, it should be noted that Bush’s hometown paper in Crawford, TX is literally a one man operation, run by a self promoter who admitted after the “endorsement” of Kerry to using the resulting controversy to get a little attention for his small town gossip sheet. Now, had the liberal Globe endorsed Bush, that would have been an indication that Kerry was in trouble, just as the liberal Plain-Dealer endorsing DeWine shows that Brown is in trouble. Stick to your guns, K-Lo. You were right the first time.
