\r\n\r\nThe press reports that if the Bush campaign fails in its attempt to\r\nsuppress the hand recounts of voters' ballots that are provided by\r\nFlorida law, as seems likely, then they will implement a \"scorched-\r\nearth\" plan involving legal challenges to the election outcomes in\r\nIowa, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wisconsin.<\/p>

\r\n\r\nIf the envisioned scorched-earth plan does come to pass then it will\r\nbe important to monitor the regional newspapers in Iowa, New Mexico,\r\nOregon, and Wisconsin. To that end, some very excellent RRE readers\r\nhave assembled guides to the regional newspapers and other relevant\r\nonline resources in those states. I have enclosed them here: two for\r\nIowa, followed by one each for the other states. I have edited and\r\nreformatted them, but they are not my work. Nor have I tested the\r\nURL's myself. I assume they're fine.
\r\n\r\nLet me just add that one of my favorite words in the whole English\r\nlanguage is \"slugfest\". It's gotten a lot of exercise this week.
\r\n\r\n\r\n****** IOWA ******
\r\n\r\n\r\nHere are some URL's for Iowa papers:
\r\n\r\nDes Moines Register
\r\n\r\n http:\/\/www.DesMoinesRegister.com\/<\/p>
\r\n\r\n(used to be the independent paper of Iowa -- only local paper in the\r\ncountry to be distributed as the major paper in all counties in the\r\nstate -- taken over by Gannett in the last decade or so but still has\r\ngood columnists)
\r\n\r\nDMR on the potential recount:

\r\n\r\n(Johnson County is where Iowa City is located, arguably the most\r\nliberal\/progressive city in the state, home of the University of Iowa\r\nand a century of progressive activism)

\r\n\r\nHere are the major papers covering Iowa. The Des Moines Register is\r\nTHE state newspaper, with statewide readership. The Omaha World Herald\r\nis widely read in the western third of the state. The remainder are\r\nfrom Iowa's larger cities, with Ames and Iowa City being the homes of\r\nthe universities.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n****** WISCONSIN ******<\/p>
\r\n\r\n\r\nAfter wading through info on modest milk price increases and the\r\nnational slingshot competition, I managed to find some Wisconsin\r\nURLs that may interest you. It's probably more exhaustive than\r\ndiscriminating, so you may want to review them to figure out which\r\nones to keep.<\/p>
