3. Bravo!

We have seen Kerry grow and develop in presidential qualities to the point we're confident in recommending him as a person of common sense and decency - a leader who has what it takes to bring Americans back together. - - Amen!!

4. Great! Now let's see the CR Gazette go Kerry...

...though I doubt it. My own RW Rag--the Omaha World-Herald--has gone Bush, which was a no-brainer.

5. Just a kick here

6. We WILL win Iowa!!

The DMR has always been a quite populist liberal editorial bent - I would have gagged had they gone GOP in this year of all years! They are the unofficial paper of prairie populism and hated by most wingers in-state. On the downside, they also have a Hawkeye bias and I am a member of the Cyclone minority from Ames;-)

We WILL win Iowa. Everything I hear from back home is a tidal wave of angry Democrats. Remember - Iowa has not gone Republican since 1984 when everyone else did except our neighbor to the north and only they because Mondale was their home boy. That said, Iowa gave Ronnie boy his smallest margin of victory of any state he did win that year.
