Romney Lands Key Endorsement In Crucial Swing State -- Iowa

The Des Moines Register, Iowa's largest newspaper, endorsed Mitt Romney for president Saturday, reversing its 2008 support for President Barack Obama and marking the first time the paper has endorsed a Republican in 40 years.

While the editorial praised both Romney and Obama, the decision ultimately came down to one question, the newspaper stated. "Which candidate could forge the compromises in Congress to achieve these goals? When the question is framed in those terms, Mitt Romney emerges the stronger candidate."
According to the announcement, the editorial board, which enthusiastically endorsed Romney for the state's Republican caucuses earlier this year, had "a vigorous debate" over which candidate to choose for the November election.

We will see alot of previously left leaning publications endorse Romney. It's a no brainer and they are attempting to regain some credibility after covering for the Empty Chair for so long.
It's a matter of someone who has always been successful (Romney) or a complete failure (Obama.)
