In a surprise, the Des Moines Register, Iowa’s largest and most influential newspaper, has endorsed Mitt Romney for president. The paper endorsed Obama in 2008:
While the editorial praised both Romney and Obama, the decision ultimately came down to one question, the newspaper stated. “Which candidate could forge the compromises in Congress to achieve these goals? When the question is framed in those terms, Mitt Romney emerges the stronger candidate.”
According to the announcement, the editorial board, which enthusiastically endorsed Romney ahead of the state’s Republican presidential caucuses in January, had “a vigorous debate” over which candidate to choose for the November election.
While “Romney has made rebuilding the economy his No. 1 campaign priority,” the paper stated, “the president’s best efforts to resuscitate the stumbling economy have fallen short. Nothing indicates it would change with a second term in the White House.”
The editorial board said the country needed a “renewed sense of confidence” in the economy. “That should come with Mitt Romney in the White House.”
Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, complained that the paper’s endorsement “didn’t seem to be based at all in reality.”
I guess it depends on what your definition of “reality” is:

Jeesh! “Realty”?
“not based on realty”, should have been “not based on reality”.
It’s not enough to simply say “They are entitled to their opinion but we respectfully disagree.” Because that would show that they still had some class.
what i think is funny is trying to get into a conversation with some of them. it is a real hoot!
it is like when Stern did the man on the street thing. they have no clue.
rats are for the little guy, and the poor people. rats are for the worker. rats care more.
they have no clue of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Federalist Papers, that it is a privilege to vote and not a right.
you have to have skin in the game.
I would make everybody at the least to take a Constitution test.
there should be nothing called an “undecided”. if you have no principles to start out with, you shouldn’t be deciding elections.
Blessings, bobo
Roflmao! So true!
And what kind of nozzle is she????
“didn’t seem to be based at all in reality.”
LOL.... Reality is on it’s way, it should be here on election day.
I look forward to seeing the tears of reality coming from this lying scum...

Well of course, Cutter’s reality is based on the Obama cult of Personality....
Her psychosis does not allow for the terrible thought that her demigod is a incompetent fraud and pretender
She cannot see what the rest of the world sees....
Didn’t the Russians do this with their enemies? If you said something that wasn’t the party line, you were mentally unstable and needed ‘treatment’?
Freakin’ Dims...no ethics, no honor, no brains.

Well, Steph, I suppose that depends on what your definition of reality is. (psst: get copies of your resume out real soon, before any results are known)
Exactly right. They are so disillusioned thinking the rats care for them. The rats only care about staying in power and that requires a dependent class...they do everything they can to keep poor people downtrodden and on the Rat Plantation so they can hold onto power. If the poor people actually broke out and became successful, the hustlers would be out of business.
From the IC Press-Citizen: “We knew that the constraints of office would not allow Obama to function effectively as the nation’s “community organizer in chief.” But we had hoped the Obama administration would find a way to harness the energy and idealism sparked by the campaign and develop it into sustainable, grass-roots, local activism.
That didn’t happen.”
Wow. I’m in IC, so I’m not surprised at the endorsement, but talk about half-hearted - and this was only part of the endorsement.
Stephanie Cutter’s IQ has to be in the triple minus category
