Newt's New Hampshire coup: Union-Leader endorsement
[Link: www.salon.com...]
The most significant newspaper endorsement of the Republican presidential race has gone to Newt Gingrich. The Manchester Union Leader, the largest daily publication in New Hampshire, gave its blessing to the former House Speaker in a Sunday editorial that, per the paper’s aggressive style, appears on the front-page.
The staunchly conservative Union Leader carries unusual significance in New Hampshire Republican politics because it loudly and persistently champions its preferred candidate after weighing in. Or as publisher Joe McQuaid once put it: “The Union Leader’s style is we don’t just endorse once. We endorse every damn day. We started endorsing Reagan in 1975 and never stopped.”
