From the Daily Caller comes this this blurb (my emboldening):
October Iowa Surprise – Mitt Romney picked up an endorsement last night from an unlikely source, reports TheDC’s Neil Munro:
“Iowa’s Des Moines Register newspaper endorsed Mitt Romney on Saturday, marking the first time the paper has endorsed a Republican for president in 40 years. ‘Both President Barack Obama and Governor Romney are superbly qualified … [but] Mitt Romney emerges the stronger candidate,’ the paper announced. … ‘Our discussion repeatedly circled back to the nation’s single most important challenge: pulling the economy out of the doldrums,’ said the editorial endorsement. ‘Romney has made rebuilding the economy his No. 1 campaign priority — and rightly so.’”
Think about this for a moment: Romney got the endorsement of a paper that had endorsed Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale over Ronald Reagan.
Nothing is written as Lawrence of Arabia once observed. However, the word “landslide” is beginning to edge its way into some pre-election discussions. And it is not used in a manner that is complimentary to Obama’s hopes.
Dick Morris is one who is openly predicting it.
