Infomaniac: WeBlog

Overheard on the Web, and other Web links From The Herald's Research Editor

Predictions, endorsements, and praise: 

Another endorsement:
Bucking the trend of many newspapers who endorsed Bush in the last race switching to Kerry in this one, the New York Daily News has come out for Bush, saying:

The News is dismayed by Bush's domestic record. His presidency simply has not been about serving the interests of middle-class and working-class families, whose fortunes have declined.
...Bush led the country to invade Saddam Hussein's Iraq, enraging some allies and alienating half the American people. We supported the President and we continue to believe he made the right decision.

The Daily News supported Clinton and Gore in the last three elections. But New Yorkers can't forget 9/11.

...and a Prediction:
The Washington post says (registration required) if the Redskins win the Sunday before the election, the incumbent wins. Apparently it's been true since 1936. And, the winner is: The Packers!

Praise:
Knight Ridder's reporting on the Iraq situation continues to get high praise, such as this from blogger Matt Yglesias and comments by his readers, on this K-R story about how Osama bin Laden escaped U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
