Boston, MA - Today, Romney for President released a new television advertisement titled "Iowa Newspapers Agree." The Des Moines Register said that Mitt Romney "offers a fresh economic vision." When they endorsed Mitt Romney, it was the first time in forty years, the paper endorsed a Republican. In fact, Romney earned the support of every major newspaper in Iowa. It's clear that Mitt Romney is the leader both Iowa and our nation need.

VIDEO TEXT: "First Republican Endorsement Since 1972"

VOICEOVER: "Mitt Romney's earned the support of every major newspaper in Iowa."

VIDEO TEXT: "A Strong Record Of Achievement In Both The Private And Public Sectors"

Statesman Journal (OR) Endorses Mitt Romney For President

STATESMAN JOURNAL (OR) ENDORSES MITT ROMNEY

Our Presidential Endorsement: Mitt Romney
Statesman Journal (OR)
October 31, 2012

http://community.statesmanjournal.com

Today the Statesman Journal Editorial Board endorses Mitt Romney for president.

We do so despite endorsing Barack Obama four years ago. On Oct. 19, 2008, we wrote: “America needs a profound leader — a leader who can rebuild our economy, regain our respect around the world and restore our faith in our future. That person is Barack Obama.”

Today our economy is still struggling and our national hopes have faded.
…

The Olympic movement can be so full of infighting and intrigue that it makes Congress seem like child’s play. Romney skillfully navigated that political and economic quagmire, replacing scandal with credibility at the Salt Lake Games. Furthermore, Romney served a solid term as governor of Massachusetts.
…

Romney has an excellent vice presidential choice in Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who is not the extremist that Democrats have portrayed. Ryan is bright and thoughtful, and his congressional experience complements Romney’s background in the private sector and state government.

That business skill cannot be overstated. Romney’s leadership will inspire businesses to re-invest in workers and products, re-building the economy.
…

No president will live up to all expectations. But Mitt Romney offers the best hope of getting our nation back on its feet.
…

Our endorsement of the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan ticket represents the composite recommendation of the Statesman Journal Editorial Board.

Individual board members hold various views, like the Oregon electorate. But board members, acting as the institutional voice of the print and online newspaper, staunchly believe we have a leadership responsibility to examine political candidates and make our best recommendations, from city hall to the White House.
…

We make this endorsement knowing that most Americans have their minds made up, and more than a fourth of Oregon voters have already turned in their ballots. But this is an election that will be decided by the last undecided voters.
…

But on this Opinion page we want our voice to be clear. We want to stand up and be counted. We want all to know, whether they agree with us or not, that will we never be afraid to speak up and won’t remain silent. You can trust us to speak our mind.

Nashua Telegraph Endorses Mitt Romney For President

NASHUA TELEGRAPH: “MITT ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT”

Mitt Romney For President
Nashua Telegraph
October 30, 2012

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com

Four years ago, with little hesitation, we endorsed then-Sen. Barack Obama to become the 44th president of the United States, saying it was a time for “new leadership, a new approach to governing, a new way of conducting the people’s business.”
…

After several hours of spirited debate, not unlike conversations taking place in kitchens and living rooms across America, we reached a consensus that he had not. Perhaps more importantly, when we identified the key challenges facing the nation – jobs, the economy and the national debt – we concluded he was not the best candidate to meet them.

That person is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and we hereby endorse him to become the 45th president of the United States.
…

As we noted when we endorsed Romney for the GOP nomination prior to the New Hampshire primary in January, Washington is broken. In order to fix it, it will take a strong leader willing to roll up his sleeves and work directly with the heads of both parties to carve out the best possible solutions.

We believe Romney has demonstrated that he can do that; the president has had four years to demonstrate that he can’t.
…

True leaders also don’t wait until two weeks before Election Day – in the form of a 20-page booklet, no less – to lay out a specific agenda for the next four years. Coupled with the negative tenor of the campaign, that merely confirms the president and his strategists felt that attacking Romney’s agenda was more politically expedient than releasing one of their own.
…

Nevertheless, we are confident Romney is the candidate who would tackle the serious issues facing this nation, starting with jobs, the economy and the debt. In the end, we couldn’t say the same about the president.
