That didn't take long. Romney is The One. Smart, experienced, moderate, and all that.
The Register (correctly, I think) dismisses Gingrich as a flake. It rejects Ron Paul because:
"Ron Paul’s libertarian ideology would lead to economic chaos and isolationism, neither of which this nation can afford."
That would be as opposed to the current economic chaos accompanied by shooting all the Arabaic speakers who piss us off? Bearing in mind, of course, that this sometimes motivates the Arabs shoot back.

Bated breath - Iowa Caucuses 2012
The Des Moines Register is about to announce its endorsement of a GOP caucus candidate. It will be good for one news cycle of excess verbiage among the political classes, then fade iinto the murk.
The Register has a history of endorsing the left-most candidate who has never been convicted of a serious felony. This year that would seem to be Romney, but everything else is so screwy any guess is dangerous.
The paper is trying to create suspense -- and traffic -- with a poll asking whom you think it will endorse. Ron Paul is the runaway winner. Good enough, although it is apparently a result of Paulistas' intensity rather than an answer to the actual question. The paper didn't ask, and doesn't care, whom it should endorse.

Stop me if you've already heard this.
In 2012, Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address happen the same day. This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.
One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.
