On the President's interview. They were whining about in their blogs.

That endorsement sounds like a crock of shit.

today newspaper endorsements has lost it`s luster. they used to be important when their was only radio and radio and tv. today people can get a far wider range on the internet.

what i find ironic about their endorsement is the fact the republicans in the house have killed the farm bill to at least till the end of the year. there`s a possibly the entire bill will not go into effect until february or march

Newspaper endorsements mean so little these days.

In any event Obama looks great in Iowa. Has a good ground game there.

Howard Fineman is annoying me on twitter right now, acting like Obama is going to lose Iowa now. He is being so overdramatic.

I can't tell if he's serious or not.
