The Hutchinson News has withdrawn its endorsement of primary candidate Tracey Mann, who is running for the Republican nomination in KS-01. The reason? "Quite simply, the reason is that it turns out Mann is what is known as a birther," the newspaper's editorial board wrote yesterday.

The primary boasts six Republican candidates, and the board wrote on its website yesterday that it "struggled some to endorse a candidate" in a primary "in which all six candidates sound mostly the same."

The note continued that the paper "settled on" Tracey Mann "as the best pick, saying he 'at least shows the ability to be reasonable and straightforward with voters.' We were wrong. And we withdraw that endorsement."
