Atlanta Journal Constiution endorses Kerry
Conservative paper! (sorry if this is a duplicate-I didn't see it here)

......

That concern goes beyond mere differences about policy to questions about basic competence. Too often, Bush has seemed to disdain rational analysis of a situation in favor of a rigid, unbending ideology that recognizes no shading of gray. The world that Bush describes, and the world as it exists, are often two different places.

....
Second, even with a top-notch staff, a successful president must be able to independently assess the information and recommendations that he is given. Bush has shown no evidence that he is capable of making such judgments,
During his time in public life, Kerry has proved himself to be an intelligent, diligent student of world and national affairs with the courage to take the lead at times when others would shirk the burden.
It's time to give competence a chance.

4. Actually, the editorial page is liberal overall.
They have some really good writers like Jay Bookman who was one of the few people writing substantive things about the PNAC during the propaganda runup to the Iraq Invasion.
