I'm surprised the Ragister is trickling out its endorsements this early, I thought that was a statewide Sunday paper sort of thing.
I haven't caught any comments on blogs about their endorsements.
It seems to me they'll have less effect, than the little they currently have, this way
and the scientific community is united in that fact.
So far the Ragister's true to form as they've endorsed CONgressmen
Bruce Braley and Dave No Sack...err
Loebsack.I expect they'll continue their endorsement of incumbents with
Leonard BOZO-well and
Tom Latham, but will support
Matt Campbell over
Steve King.
I'm torn, but I believe they'll pick
Rozanne, err
Taxanne Conlin over
Chuck Grassley.
I think it's a sister thing for the women of the
editorial board, even though Conlin's shown no improvement from the June primary when the Ragister backhandedly endorsed one of her opponents stating
none is an especially impressive choice for the job of U.S. senator and
We have reservations about all three candidates.
I have no doubt they'll support the
Big Lug Nut over
Terry Branstad because their coverage has been so over the top for Governor Culver.
Expect endorsements for Attorney General
Tom Miller over
Brenna Findley,
Dave Vaudt for State Auditor over
Jon Murphy, Secretary of State
Michael Mauro over
Matt Schultz, Treasurer
Michael Fitzgerald instead of
Dave Jamison and
Bill Northey rather than
Francis Thicke for Agriculture Secretary.
Not being one of the
Mathletes, I have the Ragister supporting 3 Republicans and 9 Democrats.
