On to South Carolina!
Normally, we get complaints that we expend too much space on the presidential candidacy of John Edwards. Just to let you know that we hear all sides:
On Jan. 3, we published a package on the upcoming Iowa caucuses and used photos of Obama, Clinton, Romney and Huckabee on the front page to illustrate it. We got this e-mail:
Regardless of your political affiliation and regardless of your candidate preference in the Iowa presidential caucas, why would you publish on the front page photos of Democrats Obama and Clinton and not that of Edwards? Polls then showed Edwards even with the other two.
John Edwards is a respectable North Carolina citizen. N&R's omission raises questions as to its fairness. Democrats and Repubicans expect that in their local newspaper.
