Following is the distribution data by party designation of candidates in
tomorrows election as endorsed and published by the Minneapolis StarTribune
and by the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
Minneapolis StarTribune:
-- endorsed Democrats = 77%
-- endorsed Republicans = 18%
-- endorsed Independents = 5%
St. Paul Pioneer Press:
-- endorsed Democrats = 50%
-- endorsed Republicans = 50%
-- endorsed Independents = 0%
I've done this analysis for quiet a few elections and the Strib endorsements
are always 70-80% for Democrats.
And todays' lesson is?
Although this is editorial page data, don't assume the Strib is an unbiased,
objective newspaper.
