Update 10/17/04, 11:05AM: The good Doctor points us toward Editor and Publisher's "endorsement" tally:

NEW YORK They weren't exactly giant surprises, but Senator John Kerry will take them, picking up two more major editorial endorsements on Sunday, this time from The Minneapolis Star-Tribune in swing state Minnesota and The New York Times, which has national impact. Both papers used unusually harsh language in attacking the incumbent.
In E&P's exclusive daily endorsement tally, this gives Kerry a 15-13 edge on President Bush but widens his margin in the combined circulation of the papers that back him from 3-1 to nearly 5-1, with an edge of about 4 million to 850,000 (a complete chart will follow later today). [emphasis added]
Many more endorsements are expected on Sunday...
Update 10/17/04, 2:30PM: E&P updates the tally. Even the endorsements of Bush are riddled with caveats, leading me to wonder why in the hell the papers that chose to endorse Bush did so.
