McCain's interview w/ the Des Moines Register just sunk him.

[Botany]

Used to be a fine paper ... I haven't read it for about 10 years ....
the people in Iowa love that paper .... especially the republicans.

[liberal N proud]

1. I grew up reading the Des Moines Register

Grew up Democrat regardless of the rhetoric.

[Botany]

2. It used to very well written

Acting nasty @ the Des Moines Register in Iowa is really dumb.

Besides it is read in IL, NB, MN, WI, ..... among lots of "good folk"

[Iterate]

4. Donald 'O.T.' Kaul fan here

Smudged fingers on Sunday morning since age 8 or 9. Not so often since it got thin.

[Iterate]

5. Oh! I named a newspaper! Good for me.

[beac]

6. But it only counts if you READ 'all of them' like Sarah---

just naming papers is elitist. ;)

[Iterate]

8. But I walked by a newsstand once...

Obviously she never learned that bit of humility that comes from spending an idle day in a university library.

Maybe an entertaining debate element to counter the inevitable name-dropping -for Biden, give no answer that doesn't include citations from three sources and two supreme court decisions.

12. I once saw a newspaper from my kitchen window. Wasn't curious enough to read it, though.

9. Thanks!

10. The Des Moines Register is small potatoes compared to the

Rolling Stone article. OMG - I've read about half of it and it has to be the most scathing item ever written about a presidential candidate.

Thanks for the link.

[Botany]

16. Thanx for the link

John McCain really needs his ass kicked.

[Orsino]

14. Could someone tell me why he's campaigning in Iowa?

Why in one of the bluest of blue states?

[RoadRage]

15. I saw someone post yesterday..

that Iowa was one of the states that just did a huge voter purge.. not sure if that's connected... but it is quite odd.

[grantcart]

18. No one can explain that

No one can explain why is doing editorial board meetings which will have no influence rather than doing town halls or rallies


Maybe he will go to Hawaii next.

17. McCain hasn't a chance anyway in Iowa latest poll has him behind by 16-points.
