The second largest newspaper in John McCain's home state endorsed Barack Obama:

He's proved himself with his nuanced understanding of complicated issues. His vision is not built on rhetoric. He offers substantive, detailed policies and the acumen to make these changes a reality.
He demonstrates leadership by surrounding himself with smart people who will strengthen his administration. For vice president Obama chose Joseph Biden, a U.S. senator with 35 years of experience, a foreign policy expert qualified to be president.
Obama made a responsible, pragmatic and intelligent choice that shows us he puts the nation above party politics.

In fairness, I'll point out that this newspaper also endorsed John Kerry in 2004. However, in Obama's home state of Illinois, seven daily newspapers which had endorsed Bush in 2004 endorsed Obama this year, including the state's largest paper. So far, no Arizona newspapers have changed affiliation between 2004 and 2008.
