On Saturday, the Miami Herald endorsed Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination.
The Herald editors wrote that electability should be the number one issue in selecting a candidate. The Herald was critical and unenthusiastic about both candidates, pointing out that Romney has changed his positions, including his opposition to the Dream Act, but ultimately found Romney more electable: “Mr. Gingrich might be the feistier candidate, but if Republicans care about electability in November, Mr. Romney is the better choice.” They also found Gingrich’s rhetoric offensive: “Mr. Gingrich’s use of racially divisive code words like “food stamps” in reference to the NAACP was especially loathsome.”
