Watch the "Clinton Machine" Blow the Des Moines Register Endorsement

[Bullet1987]

Hillary Clinton and her campaign are in negative mode right now. Iowa and it's people are known to be against that. Which is what makes the Des Moines Register endorsement so shocking. But it's not totally mind-blowing seeing as how you have someone like David Yepsen who is strongly anti-Obama working with the paper...and let's be real...the majority of the editors I hear ARE women. That's not knocking the paper or anything, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that they are all Clinton supporters (or the majority of them).

This is what the Clinton campaign needed after a month of bad news and blunders. But what point will the endorsement make if for the next 2 weeks...she keeps up her negative rhetoric against Obama? I don't think this ends Obama's surge and momentum...it just gives Clinton some as well.

5. Dont be jealus

Its unatractive and does your candidate no good.

[rAVES]

23. Its hardly a great endoresment considering what they did to Kucinich...

First they let America know that they dont matter. its about money.. then they go and endorse the worst person on the stage..

very transparent..

9. If the comments posted on the Des Moines Register site...

are any indication of what Iowans feel then I suspect the Register's circulation numbers may to take a little hit.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. They are likely to be indicative of what internet-active Dems feel, as is DU

[RaleighNCDUer]

24. Yeah. Can't expect those dumb hog farmers to agree with the

smart people on the net.

[K Gardner]

10. I kind of had a bad feeling while listening to Air America today in the car..

They droned on and on with the head of Emily's List about Hillary and her "unwavering" base of older women supporters and blahdeblahblahblah. I finally had to turn it off.

[1corona4u]

12. LOL....

[ClarkUSA]

13. Guess the Des Moines Register endorses swift boating Bush-lite politics as usual

All that wining and dining of Des Moines Register staff and Yepsen did the trick.

[snowbear]

25. I guess the bummer for any candidate is that the Des Moines Register has "NEVER" picked the winner -

How can they have a record of never getting it right?

"Keep in mind that the Register NEVER picks the winner on the Dems side--never. Influential--yes. A kingmaker--NEVER. Biden is the perfect way to maintain that record--it's almost become too vulgar for them to actually pick a winner. ...

Biden's perfect--it's the "responsible" choice, so responsible it's almost apolitical. ... This year, given the near three-way dead heat, it's going
to be harder than ever to back the winning horse. So pick a guaranteed loser!! Now when the paper doesn't pick the winner, it can claim it was done with full self-knowledge--as a public service."

If HRC wins, she'll be their first ever winning endorsement...
