The impact may be muted, as finals end today and students are already
leaving town. But today, the University of Iowa's Daily Iowan endorsed
Barack Obama and John McCain. "From the start, Obama was viewed as
charismatic but lacking in substance. Now, fewer than two weeks from
our state caucuses, this is no longer the case," the paper wrote in
its final edition before caucus night Jan. 3. "Obama's commanding
oratorical abilities should not distract voters from his policy
proposals, objectives that outline a return of 'united' to the United
States. We believe his judgment and ideas are the best fit, not just
for a party but for a people."
