Newspaper Endorsements Start Piling Up

Newspaper Endorsements Start Piling Up

The big one -- the Des Moines Register -- dropped last weekend.  But as editorial board meetings wind down, newspapers across Iowa are starting to line up behind the presidential candidates.  The Democratic side shows a Barack Obama lead, six to four over Hillary Clinton (though she got the Register endorsement).

The Republican contest is closer between Mike Huckabee and, despite his relative lack of campaigning in the state, John McCain.
