Choice is clear: McCain’s the one (Boston Herald endorses McCain)

No, but didn’t the Globe already endorse him as the GOP candidate?

Thats kind of like me endorsing Edwards or Bloomberg. LOL.

[bill1952]

Does anyone have any delusions about any GOP candidate winning Mass?

[Norman Bates]

Yes, the Globe did endorse him. But this is a seperate endorsement.

McCain is the one because he will bow at the alter of the liberal media.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Maybe because they know Joe Isuzu Romney is a lying sack of $hit.

“What we miscalculated was the total mistrust in government,” McCain told the Herald. “They didn’t believe we could secure the borders.” But this isn’t 1986.

Yeah, it's 2007, 6 years after 9-11, during a "war on terror" and WE STILL DON'T HAVE SECURE BORDERS!!

[Norman Bates]

Ok, LOL, I would put it more like they are familiar with his different stances but ok... ;^)

[Diogenesis]

Ronald Reagan won.

McCain’s name, of course, is also synonymous with immigration reform - the kind of real reform that will both safeguard our borders and provide a path to citizenship - not [just] amnesty - for the 12 million illegal aliens who now live among us. The senator freely acknowledges that his support for immigration reform threatened to jettison his presidential candidacy.

Liberals, in their mind, have just an embarrassment of riches. They not only control the Democrat party but have four liberals vying for the Republican nomination: McCain, Romney, Giuliani, and Huckabee.

[bill1952]

Sure did. But you didn’t answer the question.

[Norman Bates]

Yes he did. See post 24. A 2006 poll had McCain beating Hillary in Massachusetts like 49-40. He’s also beaten Obama in Mass. in five consecutive polls.

Isn’t it funny how the mojo has passed along?

First it was Guiliani, then Romney, then Thompson, then Huckabee, and now McCain. I guess in a couple weeks it will come full circle back around to Guiliani again.

[Brad from Tennessee]

This is the Herald’s Republican primary endorsement. I think they may endorse Huckabee for the Democrat primary.

[Ron in Acreage]

For someone who has trampled all over the 1st amendment, how can any media outlet endorse him?

[Norman Bates]

No Democrat is being endorsed. It’s McCain for President.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Yeah. The Globe endorsed McCain and Obama. The Globe is owned by the New York Times. The Herald is owned by Newscorp.

Boston has never big on free speech....

Banned in Boston

[Brad from Tennessee]

That was a joke. But it makes sense because the Herald leans to the right of the Globe and nobody would pay much attention to their Democrat endorsement. I know in the past they have made endorsements for both tickets. In 1988, when I lived in Massachusetts briefly, the Herald endorsed Bush and Dukakis in the state primary.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Aye.
