Des Moines Register Endorses Hillary Clinton

1 comment December 15th, 2007

With recent polls showing that the Iowa Caucus race is dead even between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the endorsement by the state’s leading newspaper, The Des Moines Register, could be decisive. It has now been announced that Hillary Clinton has won this important prize, with less than three weeks before the caucus on January 3.

In announcing its decision, the newspaper stated that the “readiness to lead sets her apart from a constellation of possible stars in her party, particularly Barack Obama, who also demonstrates the potential to be a fine president. 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.”

Reading between the lines, the Des Moines Register seems to be saying that competence and experience should determine the race, and Obama is deficient in these areas, unlike Hillary Clinton. No matter how the Obama forces spin this, this is clearly a major setback and disappointment for them, and a gain for the Clinton political machine.

Coincidentally, the day after the Register’s endorsement, Hillary Clinton begins a five-day blitz throughout the entire state of Iowa. She knows that if she can score a victory on January 3, the Primary race ends right then.

Maine Governor Endorses Hillary Clinton

1 comment December 15th, 2007

Today the Hillary Clinton Campaign announced the endorsement of Maine Governor John Baldacci. Amid the media hype about an Obama surge, it is interesting to note that the bulk of the Democratic Party establishment is still lining up behind Senator Clinton. On the other hand, I would not be surprised if former Clinton administration vice president Al Gore were to endorse Barack Obama, just as he endorsed Howard Dean in 2004.

Do the endorsements tell us anything? If the race were really tightening, the smart thing for these politicians to do would be to sit on the fence until it is clear who will win the nomination. These endorsements seem to indicate that many leading politicians in the Democratic Party still believe it is Hillary’s race to lose.
