Best and worst swing state front pages from day 2

Democrats in the convention hall may have loved Bill Clinton’s speech last night, but how did it play in their hometown papers?

First some headlines the DNC must be happy about:

Cleveland Plain Dealer – big pic, above fold, on message headline

Richmond Times-Dispatch – above fold, smaller pic, on message headline

Tampa Bay Times – big pic, above the fold, decent headline

Front pages the DNC can’t be happy about:

The Miami Herald – tiny Clinton pic, no headline, lead stories are voter fraud and Israel/platform debacle


Cincinnati Enquirer
– lead story is U.S. debt, no picture or headline relating to Clinton

The Virginia Pilot – small pic, below the fold, no headline

and finally, USA Today – great pic, great placement, but considering that more than 60 percent of Americans believe America is on the wrong track, is this really a good headline?
