The Quad City Times, a newspaper in Eastern Iowa, has endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for President in an editorial titled “Romney Stands Alone.”
Romney stands not as a last resort, but as a solid, first preference.
Like Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, Romney makes his second presidential bid as a much stronger candidate. We wished we’d have seen him more often this go-round. But his choice of a national — not just Iowa — strategy affirms our belief that his sights are set on the presidency, not just a nomination.
