The Des Moines Register’s GOP caucus endorsement: Mitt Romney is best to lead

Boy, what can you say about such a milquetoast endorsement: Romney exhibits sobriety, wisdom and judgment, and then the article goes on to explain what they mean. No excitement there.

However, they call Gingrich "an undisciplined partisan who would alienate, not unite" if he repeats his mean-spirited attacks as he did as House speaker.

Finally, they say that Romney will offer a clear choice vs. Obama if he is the GOP nominee. Sorry Register, not many of us believe it, not for a minute.

Haha so IA paper endorses Mitt although Newt leads, and NH paper endorses Newt although Mitt leads. Looks like a wash...

Forget to mention that after the endorsement, the Register review board gives their evaluation of the other candidates except Huntsman who stayed away.

Comments like Rick Perry didn't wear cowboy boots but his "drawl was distinct", Ron Paul who "shouldn’t be written off as a nut, even if some of his ideas are nutty," and Michele Bachmann "an impressive fireball who can absorb and regurgitate tons of information" though some of it can be inaccurate.

As Rush would say in a southern vernacular..."Right On! Right On! Right On!

Given how so-called "compromise" has done so much damage to this country, and continues to do so, I'd rather have an "undisciplined partisan" fighting for our side than somebody like Romney who will bend over for Democrats. I'm tired of Republicans like John Boehner who act like they can't stand up to Democrats. Compromise means the Democrats screw us.
