@AJSpiker Follow @ several @IowaGOP events this year I called the @DMRegister out as paper that will b endorsing Obama in fall. Paper sales must be bad.

1. Sales are at an all time low

They have been struggling. There have been multiple layoffs and ownership is out of state. I wouldn't take this "endorsement" seriously.

2. Gannet doing its best to run this paper

into the ground. Sales are going to get worse after this endorsement. But really folks please remember NEWSPAPER ENDORSEMENTS aren't worth the paper they are printed on. THey have never won an election.

3. +1 nt

4. I don't get why a gop would say newspaper sales must be bad

if it endorsed mittload? Shouldn't he be Crowing his head off?

7. That's what I thought, Cha

Weird statement.

5. In related news, our family newsletter just endorsed Barrack Obama

Probably have the same impact as the DMR endorsement.

6. They needed to appeal to the only demographic that still buys their paper

and that's older folks. Their endorsement was so weak and not substantive it's obvious this was a play for readership.
