Correction

My statement in a couple of recent posts that the leftist Des Moines Register has endorsed Joni Ernst for the U.S. Senate turns out not to be true.

What I took for an editorial when I encountered it on line turns out to have been an exceptionally well-written letter to the editor. In fact, the Register will likely endorse Democrat Bruce Braley- an eventuality the Ernst campaign sees as so likely that she canceled her appointment to meet with the Register's editorial board.

Apologies for the mistake. I gave the Register too much credit.
