I also request a hold off any endorsement from the New Hampshire Union Leader and Des Moines Register to any candidate until late December.

I second this.

I disagree, but I will withdraw it and replace it with:

Susan B. Anthony List

I'm thinking the newspapers should have separate endorsements for each primary.

Yes, and NHI should decide. It shouldn't be based on who requests it.

This is the most sensible approach. I suppose the endorsements come from how much effort we put into the game.

After this round the game jumps ahead to November, so I will amend the endorsement requests.

Typically 5 total (e.g. 3 people, two orgs or 5 people..., etc)

I will allow everyone the opportunity to have nine total endorsements heading into this round.
It can be nine people, or six people and three orgs. You choose, but everyone gets nine.

After we move to November it will go back to the regular five endorsements

I always thought it was more of NHI just making lists of everyone's endorsements so we can have easy access to them. That's how the last game's endorsement thread was like, though I guess most of us have decided to post our requests here. I've always messaged NHI like badgate does.
