I wouldn't get too excited about newspaper endorsements if I were you.

As the American Journalism Review points out, "the impact of endorsements on national or even regional elections – contests in which candidates are well-known among voters – is negligible....a Pew Center for the People & the Press study ... which measured media influences on voters during the 2004 presidential campaign, concluded that "newspaper endorsements ...dissuade as many Americans as they persuade."
