"Our conclusion has been that, on balance, Kerry shares more of our values than Bush does. He earns our endorsement.
In many cases we've been disappointed by Kerry's lack of specifics or his promises to cure all our ills by repealing the tax cuts for the wealthy. We've weighed those disappointments against our dismay over Bush's failings.
The next paragraph is about all you need to know about this paper's philosophy:
Certainly there are other issues upon which voters can base their decisions. We did not discuss the widening gap in wealth distribution in this country, and the government's role in closing that gap.
And then they get wishy-washy.
We offer our views only as a starting point for undecided voters - our attempt to cut through the competing exaggerated claims of the campaigns and reveal some truth.
By all means, if you're one of the undecided, do your own research. Seek out reliable sources of information and weigh the candidates' values against your own. Consult your conscience.
Then vote - for Bush, Kerry or the third-party or independent candidate of your choice. "
That's the Wausau Daily Herald (thanks to Lakeshore Laments for pointing it out), coming out for Kerry. WisPolitics also has the Lakeland Times endorsing Bush (no link available).
That puts us at 6-3 for Bush, still pending the Journal Sentinel and Capital Times.

Good one! That's making my quotes list. Do I credit you, or somebody else?
That one's mine.
