The New Hampshire Union Leader is endorsing Newt Gingrich!
This is the second time they’ve snubbed Mitt Romney. They endorsed McCain in 2008. Mitt had been courting them aggressively this time around and had just gotten endorsed by Tea Party favorite, Sen. Kelly Ayotte.
Big boost for Newt, big blow for Mitt.
I hate Romney just enough to be happy about this, even though I don’t think I would ever vote for Gingrich. I don’t think Ayotte’s endorsement is going to mean much. She barely edged out Lamontagne in the Senate race and only, in my opinion, because she was the safe/familiar option. NH voters make their own decisions. I doubt she has that much influence.
I’m exactly with you. I also hate Mitt, but don’t think I can vote for Newtie. It’s just an awful field (or “filled” as Palin would say) this time.
Union Leader: you can see the forest for the trees.
You know the difference between form and substance.
You know it’s not the packaging, it’s the contents.
Good for you, Union Leader, now run that faker Romney out of the great state of New Hampshire, preferably on the third rail.
You know the expression “the monster never dies”.
Our friends in NH show that familiarity breeds contempt.
