Des Moines Register Endorses Experience

Hillary Clinton and John McCain received the highly-coveted endorsement of the Des Moines Register.

Meanwhile the Boston Globe has endorsed Barack Obama and McCain which is likely to wield some influence in the New Hampshire primary on January 8.

The Des Moines Register, Iowa's largest newspaper, endorsed the two candidates for the fast-approaching Iowa caucuses, calling them the best prepared and most tested of the White House contenders.

The Register's endorsement was especially bad news for Edwards, who won the newspaper's endorsement in the 2004 race, helping him make a late rush to finish second behind winner John Kerry, but the paper's editors said this was a different race and "we too seldom saw the 'positive, optimistic' campaign we found appealing in 2004."

txrad predicted months ago the Democratic ticket would be Clinton/Edwards. It's going to be very interesting to watch all this unfold as the voters make their decisions.
