Online vs print Wendy:

We didn't talk about whether the online endorsements should carry a different tone, but it's certainly an interesting question. Like most newspapers, we're still feeling our way around this "new" technology.

To caucus, or not... Cara:

It's a tough call. To me, a caucus is different than voting in a primary, and even though I'm paid to have an opinion, I don't feel comfortable participating in an open process like that. That's just how I feel. Some journalists don't even vote, to avoid some appearance of conflict. I have never gone that far, and believe strongly in my right, and duty, as an American to vote in elections.

That said, as a young politico, I attended a caucus when I was 18 years old, and was bored to tears. Couldn't believe democracy was that boring. Hopefully tomorrow night will be a different experience for the thousands of new caucus-goers.

Turnout... I think we'll see what Iowa, NH, Nevada, etc., saw and that's record turnout. It's very exciting. I just hope Colorado has some results tomorrow tonight to add to the mix.

another print vs online question The traditional print media has had some hiccups in trying to develop an online business model that supports the bottom line while providing non-subscribers with fresh content.

Often, online stories are merely re-prints of published stores (or will appear in the print edition as is) which don't lend themselves especially well to a Web audience.

Was there any consideration of using a different tone in the online endorsement than what would appear in Sunday's paper?

Reader burnout Dems17: Great question. There could be some chance for burnout by August, at least in Colorado with the convention coming. I only handle the editorial pages and op/ed pages, so I can't speak to our general news coverage. But as a political junkie, I devour all of it. At this point, I think there's a level of excitement that allows for more political coverage. It will subside a bit once the nominees are chosen, and then ratchet back up come July and August, which are normally so news days. Overall, if we're talking about issues, that can only be a good thing.

Effect Studies have been done that suggest newspaper endorsements in presidential races have little effect. Endorsements in lower tier races, such as school board or even statehouse, (ones that don't get the daily headlines) can have more of an effect. Bottom line, I don't know what, if any, impact it will have. We hope the endorsements are something our readers can use to further evaluate their own stance on a candidate.

online vs print feedback How do you manage your online comments?

The Gazette recently implemented a new policy since things were getting pretty out of hand with anonymous commenters.

Re: Q&A with the Denver Post’s Dan Haley

Cara DeGette — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:30:20 -0000

Will you caucus? I read that the Post's editor has advised the newspaper's reporters and editors who are covering the election not to personally participate in the caucus -- and other reporters who do participate not to be vocal while doing so. What do you think of this policy? Do you think reporters should be banned outright from participating, on the basis of objectivity?

And, given that you, as editorial page editor, have publicly weighed in with your picks on behalf of your employer, are you planning to caucus, personally?

Feedback I just checked with our letters editor, Cohen Peart, and we're not seeing waves of indignant letters. However, there were quite a few in our online comments. We're still going through the letters stack right now. Because we didn't dismiss Obama's candidacy outright, I'm guessing we won't receive that many indignant letters. Who knows?

Any predictions? With such an important race at hand and with Colorado actually having a meaningful role in it, what do you think the turn-out will be at the caucuses tomorrow?

Reader burnout Hi Dan,

Do you worry that so much polictical coverage early in the process will burn out readers? Do you think they will get tired of reading about the election and just tune out (or stop reading)? I imagine Coloradans are at a higher risk with the convention. What are your thoughts? Do you every consider limiting political coverage or seeking out other stories?

cause and effect? What's your sense of the affect that The Post's endorsement will have on the caucus?

Re: Q&A with the Denver Post’s Dan Haley

Dan Haley — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:24:43 -0000

A first Cara:

I think I answered most of your questions in a previous post. We believe this was the first time the Post endorsed in a presidential primary. Our researchers checked back issues going back decades. We have endorsed in other state or local primaries in the past, but even that is rare.

How's the feedback on the Romney-Clinton nod? Have you been besieged with indignant Barack Obama, Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee supporters?

Re: Q&A with the Denver Post’s Dan Haley

Dan Haley — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:22:30 -0000

Ed board Leslie, we run the names of our editorial board members in each day's paper. I can tell you that neither candidate received unanimous support. Our Romney decision was actually easier than choosing Hillary Clinton. We really liked what both candidates, Hillary and Obama, had to offer and didn't see too much difference in the issues. However, in the end, Hillary's decades of involvement in public policy won out.

We rec'd a few comments from people who thought we must have missed the huge Obama rally last week. We saw it. But our selections aren't based on momentum, or who we think is going to win Colorado, or elsewhere.

This was my original question It got erased accidentally. Apparently we're all still getting used to the newfangled world:

And, many thanks for joining us, Dan.

Why did the Post decide to scoop its print edition with endorsements online? This was a first - can you explain the rationale?

Also, was this also the first time that the Post decided to endorse during the primary? Will that make it awkward come general election time if your primary picks don't win?

Re: Q&A with the Denver Post’s Dan Haley

Wendy Norris — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:20:01 -0000

the smoke-filled room editorial Dan, can you explain how the editorial board makes its decision to endorse (or not endorse) a candidate?

Is it a laborious process akin to the crafting of the Magna Carta or do you throw lawn darts at their direct mailers?

Re: Q&A with the Denver Post’s Dan Haley

Dan Haley — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:18:38 -0000

Why scoop our print product? A few reasons. One, endorsements have a way of leaking out of the paper anyway before Sunday morning. So why not scoop ourselves, instead of letting an enterprising website, such as CoCo or ColoradoPols, scoop us? Two, I think we reach a different audience by going online early. There were some folks, judging from email and voicemails I rec'd, who didn't learn of our endorsements until reading it Sunday morning. And plenty of others read it Friday afternoon. So why not do it online? I couldn't come up with a downside. Wish it had been my idea, but the New York Times did it two weeks ago.

Re: Q&A with the Denver Post’s Dan Haley

Dan Haley — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:16:49 -0000

Why endorse so early? Cara, Bill:

I'll try to answer both of your questions at the same time. First, let's start with why we endorsed in a primary. The decision to do so wasn't always a slam-dunk. I went back and forth, largely because of the issue Bill raised. If one of our endorsed candidates makes it to the general election, and the other doesn't, does that mean we'd have to endorse the one who made it? I don't think so. We thought Hillary was the best among the Democrats at this moment in time, when Coloradans were heading to caucuses. That shouldn't preclude us from saying, for example, that McCain is the better of the two candidates when they go face to face in November. However, this is precisely why many newspapers, including The Post, don't endorse this early. But more and more newspapers seem to be endorsing this cycle, and I think it's because so many states are so critical to the process. Here's a link to an editor's note I wrote explaining in more detail why we endorsed: http://www.denverpos...

Also, as to Bill's point, a lot can happen over the next 10 months in the campaign to change our minds. You learn a lot about how a candidate may act as president by how they act under pressure on the campaign trail.
