Endorsement Wars

The Concord Monitor did the opposite of endorsing Mitt Romney by publishing an editorial yesterday afternoon urging people to vote against the former Governor of Massachusetts. The Monitor concluded:

When New Hampshire partisans are asked to defend the state's first-in-the-nation primary, we talk about our ability to see the candidates up close, ask tough questions and see through the baloney. If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it.

Mitt Romney is such a candidate. New Hampshire Republicans and independents must vote no.

Ouch. Here are endorsements from today's papers:

Nashua Telegraph (NH)

Quad City Times (IA)
Democrat: Hillary Clinton
Republican: John McCain

Sioux City Journal (IA)

And here are a few more from last week:
