Boston Herald Endorses Only McCain, no Democratic endorsement

[Kat45]

<Choice Is Clear: McCain's the One

<There are times in this nation’s history so perilous that they cry out for a steady, experienced <leader, a person so trusted that we would put the fate of this country in his hands.

<This is one of those times, and Sen. John McCain is that person.

<He has a brand of courage that is rare in the public arena these days - a courage forged in part by <those years spent as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and in part by more than two decades of fighting <for what he believes in on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

<snip>

<The Boston Herald agrees. And so this newspaper too will break with its decades-old tradition of <endorsing candidates in both the Republican and Democratic primaries. In doing so we also address <our words particularly to those millions of independent voters here, in New Hampshire and around <the nation who can choose to cast their ballot in either party primary.

<The choice this year is indeed clear. John McCain should be the next president of the United <States and the Boston Herald is proud to endorse his candidacy.

I know the Herald is a conservative paper, but I can't believe only endorsing a candidate in one party. It's the primaries and there are lots of candidates in each party. This paper covers the NH market, and McCain won NH the last time he ran for President. The ultra-conservative "Manchester Union Leader" also endorsed McCain (but at least they endoraed a Dem too.

1. The Boston Herald is a Republican Rag

In fact designers I worked with used to call them the Nazi Paper.

PS - We aren't allowed to have any liberal or moderate Democratic radio talk shows either.

4. McCain is a putz

I don't think it takes courage to lie to the public about progress in Iraq.

9. i was raised on the Herald

and read it most of the time. that stopped during the DNC 2004 week as they were just too over the top for me to handle anymore. fuck them and their awesome sports section, and easily readable format.

8. Which Dem did the Union Leader endorse?

I thought they just endorsed McCain.

[MaineDem]

10. I didn't think they had

[Kat45]

11. Yup, they did endorse McCain

So that's 3 major newspaper endorsements in the NH market, with NH being a state he won last time 'round.

[MaineDem]

16. Yes but you said they endorsed a Dem as well

I don't remember them doing that. Which Dem did the Union Leader endorse?

Thanks.

[Kat45]

17. Sorry, my bad. They didn't endorse a Dem too.

It was the Globe that endorsed one in each primary.

:shrug:

[Kat45]

15. You mean this one?

And I don't even want to think about what he's grabbing here.

14. The Boston Herald is only good for sopping up bird shit.

Fuck them and McCain. McCain is stark raving mad and the idiots who support him deserve to be spat upon.
