If you believe that McCain would win Massachusetts in the 08 general election against any Democrat at all, then you are seriously deluded, my friend, and the polls aren't worth snot.

McCAIN!!!

Well, after thinking a bit, I guess, unless he explodes/implodes (ominiplodes?) again, I'd place him third on my list, after Thompson and Hunter.

Just curious...am I the only voter who is upset by the pathetic choices this current electoral cycle has produced? Is this candidate list the best this country has to offer? I don’t think so or I at least I hope not.

Murdoch bought the Herald in 1982 but sold it in 1994.

McCain's base is the liberal Main Stream Media - that is why they endorse him.

Only until he gets the nomination. As soon as he is the nominee, they will take him down with his participation in the Savings and Loan scandals in the 80's. McCain barely avoided indictment and his participation was as smelly as it gets. McCain, Paul and Huckabee are safe candidates for the Old Media. None of them can possibly win. So they get all the positive press during the primaries.

The Boston Globe and Boston Herald has had a hate/hate relationship with Gov Romney for a long time. There were many contentious press conferences with Romney’s spokespeople and snarly commentaries from the Boston TV political pundits.

Based on some past articles, I really thought they were going to endorse Rudy.

No wonder it seems more liberal.

McCain is strong on national security - which is going to increasingly be the focus in the election because it pertains to the sheer survival of this nation. McCain has the ability to convincingly convey this aspect.

He also has a lot of appeal to independents, a rapidly growing sector of the electorate and crucial in the forthcoming Presidential election.

Sooo, the main newspaper in the heart of the bluest state which has endorsed The Chappaquidick Dick for 40 years finds that John McCain is the most tolerable choice for them?

My, my, my. I guess that pretty much makes up my mind for me doesn’t it?

Common Sense Conservatism? Like letting thirty million illegal immigrant into citizenship while millions wait patiently in lottery across the globe hoping to get a chance to come here? That’s neither conservative nor sensible, common or otherwise.

Yes, precisely my thought when the Globe endorsed him.

People still care who newspapers endorse?

Do people still read newspapers?

It’s possible with the right tide, for sure. You need to stop thinking of the miniscule numbers Bush put up versus Gore and Kerry (who was a fav. son). McCain is a totally different electoral beast with more independent and even democrat reach than Bush could ever dream of. He would put Vermont in play as well and carry NH in a walk.

I don’t see that happening. There was an investigation, an official exhoneration, a slap on the wrist, and McCain has come clean on it. Years ago - old news.

A total myth. That was never in the works. Thank goodness I’m not that cynical.

I’d be six feet under before I would vote for McInsane, or any Dem. Luckily I won’t have to worry about it as McLame will get nowhere in the long run. Thank goodness. He who continously shafts his base, gets shafted by the base.
