Press-Citizen Endorses Fallon

I don’t know how many newspapers are planning to endorse Democratic primary candidates (I haven’t caught any others so far, and I know it’s sort of uncommon to endorse candidates in a party primary), but today the Iowa City Press-Citizen endorsed Fallon:
Rather than being dismissed as a mere leftist, Fallon’s commitment to individual freedom weaves in and out of partisan labels. His grassroots support could bring a surprise on June 6, and we believe he engages in the type of politics that we would like to see more of.
But more than that, they go candidate-by-candidate in a way that seems to provide a list of preferences: (3) Culver, (2) Blouin, and (1) Fallon.
We have toyed with the idea of endorsing a candidate (or candidates, if we do it individually) here, but I don’t know if any of us feels like it would really help in the long run.
After reading that endorsement, though, I might try to do something on my own in the days before I have to skip out (when I start work with the party in June). If a tree falls in the forest…

The Register is going to endorse today. I don’t know that it is that unusual in seriously contested primaries.
