The "Points" section of the DMN. Editorials, from both local and contributors. Letters to the editor. A snapshot to see what is on the minds of Dallasites and around the U.S. Let's take a look at what is in today's edition:
Second Thoughts: Points asked thoughtful North Texans "What have you changed your mind about?"
Talking Points (which are quotes from persons involved with or commenting on the big stories of the week: (1) a quote regarding a goodbye phone call from parents with a suicide pact; (2) a quote from one of the parents in the suicide pact; (3) a quote from Spitzers latest call girl; (3) a quote from an Iraqi police trainer about Chuck Norris; (4) quote from Geraldine Ferraro about Obama; (5) a quote from Obama about Hillary; (6) a quote from that woman in Kansas who sat on a toilet for 2 years.
Local Editorials: (1) Meyerson Center needs harmony with outdoor venue; (2) Light of day vital for government dealings.
Letters to the Editor: (1) Right to safe airplanes (about SW Airlines and safety issues); (2) Graffiti incident (racist graffiti written on the garage of a minority home owner in Arlington); (3) Sympathy for Shaws's son (the suicide pact parents); (4) Flushing drugs, water (about the amounts of drugs found in cities' water supplies); (5) We're numb to porn (Spitzer); (6) His privacy was invaded (Spitzer again); (7) Responsible gun use (gun control); (8) Big business bailout (Fed and bank bailouts).
Sunday Letters to the Editor: (1) Invest in Education; (2) Free ethanol from subsidy; (3) Citations for certain crimes; (4) Education is costly; (5) City of Dallas new computer system.
Letters commenting on last weeks editorials by topic: Topic 1 - Going Vegan; Topic 2 - The Iraq Conundrum; Topic 3 - The Body Politic (all letters about either the Texas Caucus system or the "Dream Ticket".)
National Editorials: Spend some time talking about the candidates; In academia, some are beginningto worry about a pop-pills-or-perish future; A widespread enviro movement?; People can't be trusted to make the "right" decisions, so public and private forces are offering some subtle clues.
Hmmm, I better go back and read the entire section again - I must have missed all the comments about Obama and Wright.

Good work, LJ. Same story here. Nothing, nada, not a word in the entire front section. Also nothing in a Sunday Opinion section. Maybe the Opinion section was in the can before Friday. Obama's lead up to 6% in Gallup's daily tracking reported today (after being down to 2 in poll reported yesterday). His lead in Rasmussen was up to 3 today (after going down to 1 yesterday).
Not to be too, too cynical but didn't the DMN endorse him (and the preacher, no, not that preacher, the repub preacher)?
Yes they did. But they have not been shy about writing editorials about those they have endorsed (mayor for example)
