this is as BIG as newspaper endorsements go. I think the Register really is the “paper of record” for Iowa. All the drama that led up to the endorsement, with Barry trying to “cover up” his own interview(LOL) gave this big coverage in Iowa and nationwide. Plus of course Iowa is a swing state.
I agree that this is big.
Having lived in Iowa for some time I can attest that the Des Moines Register is one of those few city papers that is distributed state-wide and viewed as a state-wide publication.
Really shocking...
Distribution of the Register outside of the Des Moines metro area has become spotty at best in recent years.
