As the race winds down to the last 8 days, major newspapers across the U.S. are making known who they support for the presidency. Barack Obama leads the endorsement race with 170 endorsements to John McCain's tally of 69.
"Not included in the tally below are Friday's major endorsements for Obama from the Hartford Courant and St. Petersburg Times, and his Saturday or Sunday nods from the Providence Journal, Anchorage Daily News, Des Moines Register, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Times-Picayune of New Orleans, Newark's Star-Ledger and Bergen Record in New Jersey, Baltimore Sun, Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, Albany Times-Union and others. McCain picked up the Cincinnati Enquirer and Arizona Republic on Saturday, and smaller papers."
