Does anyone know how huge this is?

[bluesc]

Awesome :D! 20,000 daily circulation.

[CaptUSA]

HELLS YEAH!!!


What's the circulation of this paper like?

[Bern]

While that is good news, I'm wondering if this university paper has a large reach or not.

It isn't like we only want one, we want them all......

[No Free Beer]

Boom goes the dynamite...

This is just the start, a big show of support from the younger Iowans.

Time to slam the phones too!

[Sola_Fide]

Is this big or what?

[da32130]

It is the college paper of the University of Iowa. 30k students

[rich34]

We just gotta make sure all those college students get out and vote and not only that, but bring about 3 or 4 friends with them!

[Liber Team]

Does this have something to do with the two ads I ran in their paper?

Paul 98% at 4:20 EST

Is this big or what?

Not sure...depends on their outreach, however, i wouldn't say it's small either. Any endorsement like this is always a big positive.

What i am very interested in knowing right now is this:

Nashua Telegraph
Des Moines Register

Does anyone know if these two have endorsed anyone yet? I don't think DMR has , but not sure what the NT has done. His interviews with both of them went really nicely and seemed well received. One of those two would definitely be a big hit.

Yea...that worries me a bit. If they are too caught up with wanting to play xbox, smoke doobage, and get laid, while wanting to spend time with family during xmas break, that is gonna be a problem for us. This a crucial time and their vote is large chunk in IA. If the weather is bad, and a huge portion of this demographic votes, well we are in good shape.

[Verrater]

They endorsed Obama and McCain last election cycle from what I can see.

[D.A.S.]

HA!! Awesoooooome!!!!

If you look at the print edition of the paper that they have posted online, you will see on the 2nd page of the paper our ad for Ron Paul and RonPaulCountry.com that I placed in this paper for 10 consecutive business days with the help of the good folks of this Forum! :-)

This paper is the heavyweight in the area. It reaches the Iowa City metro area of about 70,000 people, not even to mention the home to the University of Iowa.

Wonderful.

[djruden]

While I am 30 years old today, it was only about 7 years ago when LOTS of my friends attended the U of Iowa and at the time, it seemed a majority of students would read the paper. It's well circulated in the dorms and all the homes where students live. It has a lot of school oriented news. I don't know if times have changed a lot but back then it seemed like lots of people read it so this should spread around the campus and the students well enough. I can't predict tho if an endorsement means the student body will follow suit but it should help sway any undecided folk.

[pauliticalfan]

Very nice news.

[Johnnybags]

The Daily Iowan is an independent, 19,500-circulation daily student newspaper serving Iowa City and the University of Iowa community

[devil21]

Ron is eeking out a poll win with 96.96%. No other candidate even has 1% and second is GJ at .98%.

[harikaried]

Despite the media blackout...I have decided to email major news outlets and give them a link to the endorsement. If they can report on other endorsements for candidates, why not this too.

Don't see how it could hurt!

[Working Poor]

send the link to all state universities news papers.

[Agorism]

Do we need DMR ads to help us get that endorsement then?

[BSU kid]

Are these the links requested?

I think we know why the Hawkeyes endorsed Ron Paul.

[BSU kid]

hope we pick up Iowa State endorsement as well...

I love that part so much bwahaha.

[Agorism]

When does DMR endorsement come out. Need some sort of strategy to get that one.

[BSU kid]

Has the Cedar Rapids Gazette endorsed yet?

[Paulitics 2011]

Run ads!

Last time around, it was on December 16, which was the Sunday two weeks before the Caucus. For that reason I would expect their endorsement to possibly come out this Sunday. I have no clue who they're gonna endorse this time though (endorsed McCain last time).

[BSU kid]

If they were smart they would endorse the only candidate who actually seems to care about Iowans...Paul.

Well, they'd have a hard time endorsing Huntsman who has entirely dissed the state, but if they are looking for liberals, I guess I'd have to expect Romney. But Ron is awfully consistent. Maybe they could give him a 'we can't agree with everything but...' kind of write up. Oh well.

[QueenB4Liberty]

:D This is good!

Can always hope. They have to weigh what they want against what the people of Iowa want. Since Ron, right now, has the best chance of winning Iowa, who knows. Last time they endorsed the guy who had no chance of winning Iowa, but was looking good for the nomination at the time.

I say it goes to Newt or Ron.

What are we doing to get those college students after they go on break?

There should be some sort of event on the ground in Des Moines.
