First Two IA Newspapers To Endorse - Choose Kerry!
"Yesterday's endorsements from Attorney General Miller and from the Quad-City Times are followed today by the endorsement of the Iowa City Press-Citizen. Those are the first two Iowa newspapers to endorse, and they chose John Kerry. Senator Ted Kennedy, one of the nation's greatest fighters for working Americans, is also with John Kerry on the campaign trail in Iowa today to rally for America's future. John Kerry is winning the trust of Iowans – on the issues."

9. I love the ending on John Kerry's vision:
"Iowa Democrats should let America know that Sen. John Kerry has offered the strongest vision for their party."

This is great.

10. Kerry DOES sell to the Midwest. Midwesterners see it.
The conventional wisdom is HOGWASH!

Kerry IS the Real Deal.

11. and it shows his ability to appeal across a broad spectrum of America
His very smart decision to concentrate on Iowa seems to be paying off.
Kerry is definitely in this for the long haul- no matter what happens in NH.

15. Rural folks see into the heart
You bet they know the Real Deal when they see it. I'm really proud of these endorsements and I've got a feeling when these caucus goers get together, we're going to be in for some major surprises!

13. rumor is that the Des Moines Register will endorse Dean tomorrow
The biggest paper in the state and a influential one in the midwest. But congratulations to Kerry for his endorsements.

14. and that's why the Des Moines Register trumps those two newspapers
but those two other newspapers endorsing Kerry might well give him a jump over Gephardt.

16. You mean the more CORPORATE run newspaper?
Yepsen the Republican? Of course. He's the one who knew Dean wasn't antiwar early on but allowed his readers to believe it.

17. Are all these "tit for tats" necessary?
Congrats to Kerry and his "troops"!

John Kerry is a fine man and a wonderful senator(if not, the best).




DEAN LEADS THE WAY!

or perhaps his winning smirk ? rolling eyes ?

37. I thought 1 paper endorsed Edwards today. Now 2 for Kerry.
Has Dean received any newspaper endorsements?

And, honestly, are those endorsements even significant?
