Will the Super Tuesday state big newspapers endorse a candidate?
Will the LA/NY Times, San Fransisco Chronicle, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Minneapolis Star-Tribune endorse a candidate?

Obviously it would be either Kerry or Edwards. So far Edwards has gotten the most help from newspaper endorsements. Both in Iowa and Wisconsin he got the surprise endorsements from the state's largest newspapers and beat expections. Could it happen again?

Those weren't big region/national newspapers like the LA and NY times so I assume that they might be more snobbish towards Edwards, as they might be more elitist

2. They will endorse.
Why would these papers be more snobbish or elitist? If JE fails to get them, will it be your bad Karma payback. Perhaps you are building the case for the Dean weasel out. Assassinated by the media.
If John is such a populist why would it matter? I like John he has my vote if he makes the cut. I voted Clark earlier. If I could vote again it would be Edwards.

Whatever happens the 9 "midgets" sure made life interesting and poked a hole in the "wartime idiot". I was angry before and I still am! Good luck!

3. Well, the people working at them are less close to the working class
People at the NY times or LA times are working for a mini-empire, a vanguard of media. People working at the Des Moines Register are just less establishment, less in the bubble of power
