Romney Sweeps Iowa In Newspaper Endorsements
And yes, I know people who still vote based on an editorial by a local newspaper. Probably some like that in Iowa.As far as newspaper endorsements are concerned, Mitt Romney made a clean sweep in Iowa: all four major newspapers, including the state's largest paper, The Des Moines Register, backed Mitt Romney. The Register's editorial board said it engaged in a "vigorous debate" over whom to endorse this election. Ultimately, the newspaper that hasn't backed a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972, decided to throw its weight behind the Republican nominee. ... Newspapers elsewhere also threw their support behind the president this weekend. The Detroit Free Press editorial board called Mr. Obama's record "stunning." They pointed to the auto bailout, the Affordable Care Act health care law and the end of the war in Iraq and the near end of the war in Afghanistan. Posted by: Sherry 2012-10-29 |
