Twitter Universe Reacts To Des Moines Register Endorsement

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Twitter meme of the moment: Des Moines endorsement vs. WaPo VA Poll:

Sam Stein ‏@samsteinhp
Nice/unexpected get for Romney with the DMR endorsement. But I'm guessing they'd rather have the WaPo VA poll numbers

- Matthew Dowd ‏@matthewjdowd
- @samsteinhp true my friend.

@AdamSerwer: Would you rather be up four in Virginia or get endorsed by a newspaper in Iowa?

daveweigel ‏@daveweigel
Winning the DMR endorsement was crucial for 2008's Iowa caucus winner, President Hillary Clinton.

Jamelle Bouie ‏@jbouie
DMR endorsement of Romney: Obama stimulus was right course, but now we need Romney confidence fairy

Jamison Foser ‏@jamisonfoser
The Des Moines Register only endorses really high-quality Republicans like Dick Nixon and Mitt Romney.

5. Fineman's a jerk

Fineman hasn't ever liked Obama. He was a Hillary guy from the word go and hasn't moved on. His articles about Obama never rise about the level of luke-warm praise. With friends like him......

I live in Iowa and volunteer for the Obama campaign here. We are pulling out all of the stoppers with the ground-game. Seriously- we are working our tails off. I feel pretty good about the state of things. The Obama campaign is a well-oiled machine.

Who read the DMR? Sounds like sour grapes but it's true. They endorsed Hillary in 2007/2008 (can't remember when the actual endorsement came out) and it didn't do her a bit of good. Romney is not the right candidate for Iowa and if they can't see that, they're messed up!

Not to mention a few choice ones to the @DMR.

9. Fineman's an idiot.

end of story. Can't believe he would make an endorsement that big of a deal.

They endorsed Nixon too, shows their good judgment for rethugs, doesn't it? After Nixon, they got bit so bad, they never endorsed another, nd they want to try giving another rethug the nod, and look who they pik the lowest of the low just like nixon.

Their taste of Rethugs suck, last one was Nixon.
