I'm reading and I'm not weeping.
Tonight Hillary Clinton has won the endorsement of the Des Moines Register, after every candidate has courted the newspaper for months. An extended audition, and Clinton has come out on top.

It's not hard to discern how much her seasoning and battle record are regarded as strengths, not weaknesses:
Tested by rough politics and personal trials, she’s demonstrated strength, resolve and resilience.
I could not agree more. I want a pit bull to stand up to the GOP machine in 2008, when they are entering their final death spiral and will take everything down with them if they can.
I want a fighter. Clinton has seen it all, and I believe that she will take that vantage point into the White House, where she will forge consensus in a context of strength.
The times demand results.
Here's congratulations from those here who support you and know that you are neither down nor out. We have much to do to return the White House to its rightful owners (the American people). It's time to get started.
