Des Moines Register Endorses Hillary And McCain
The Des Moines Register, the largest newspapers in Iowa, has endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain in their respective caucuses.
The endorsement of Hillary also took some shots at Barack Obama, agreeing with the Clinton campaign's criticisms about his experience in office: "When Obama speaks before a crowd, he can be more inspirational than Clinton. Yet, with his relative inexperience, it’s hard to feel as confident he could accomplish the daunting agenda that lies ahead."
In 2004, the paper endorsed John Edwards in the Democratic caucus, even though at the time he was way behind in the polls — and he ultimately finished a strong second. The question is, can these endorsements help McCain, who is virtually invisible in this state's polls, and can it aid Hillary in her dogfight against Obama?
