about Mark Penn's trip to Columbia. This will seriously damage the Clinton campaign, and cable news will be the only ones to cover such a story.
I'm going to collate some editorial board information for small newspapers in rural counties of PA. If we can keep this in the front of the local editioral board's mind then we might seem some extra movement by the primary.
Also, a reply below suggested sending this to Union locals in the upcoming states, I'll work on that too.
Ok, I'm not from Pennsylvania so I'm using Google maps to locate towns and newspapers. If I'm off in left field about the rural or Clinton leaning demographic areas, please correct me.
I'm sure this must be old hat to some, but I would suggest that anyone who is interested take two emails from the list and send the story, with links, to people on the list. I'll take the first two, in Uniontown. I don't think it needs to be highly coordinated the emails just need to go out.
Also this is my first diary, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now, and I believe I understand the etiquette; however, if I'm wrong please chastise as you see fit...I will learn.
Now, the papers:
A good list of, I think, of all the majors:

Ok. So this isn't a long list, but I have to go to work. If enough people think this is a useful tactic, I will update with more links later.
