Kerry Gets First Major Newspaper Endorsement

The Philadelphia Daily News, sister paper of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has thrown down the first endorsement by a major newspaper of John Kerry for president.

KERRY FOR PREZ: WHY HIM, WHY NOW - AND HOW TO PUT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Why make this endorsement now, when the election is months away?

Because this race promises to be close and Pennsylvania is one of 18 swing states that can go to either candidate. For Kerry supporters to prevail they must do more than just vote, they must bring a ringer into this contest: the more than a million people in the region who did not vote in the last presidential election. We believe these non-voters - who will have to be mobilized over the next few months - are the key to victory.

The contest is engaged.

You can help Kerry win Pennsylvania.

Act now.

The commonwealth - indeed the nation - cannot afford another four years of George Bush.

It's worth reading. It's a very detailed and very passionate case for the election of John Kerry as our next president.
