Boston Globe endorses Huntsman ... that can't be good :-)

Why? Is a Globe endorsement some kind of kiss of death?
 
Something tells me you're not from New England!

Nope. Isn't the Globe is supposed to be a right-wing rag? Don't know much else about this though.

No, the Globe has a reputation of being a liberal paper. Apparently it also has wide distribution in NH. I was kind of joking about it being bad news for Huntsman. At this point I think that ANY publicity is good for his campaign.

Am I thinking of the Boston Herald then as being a right-wing rag?

I think so. It's like the Washington Times to the Washington Post.
 
More bad news for Romney:


New Hampshire Newspapers Endorse Ron Paul, Shun Romney

Mitt Romney may be the alleged frontrunner in New Hampshire and is something of a local boy, but he is not feeling the love from the state's newspapers. Three publications on Thursday threw their support behind Ron Paul.

The Littleton Courier, Berlin Reporter, and Coos County Democrat all endorsed Paul. This follows the Union Leader, the state's largest newspaper, endorsing Newt Gingrich last November.

The newspapers, which are all owned by the same company, wrote:

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has been in the lead for months, but voters still seem desperate for an alternative — there’s always another candidate pulling stronger or almost as strong numbers in the polls. Voters have lost faith in Obama, but they are not sold on Romney to replace him.​
 
Romney is going to smash the opposition in New Hampshire. That's pretty much his own back yard. The latest poll there shows:

Romney 38
Paul 24
Santorum 11
Gingrich 9
Huntsman 8
Perry 1
Bachmann 0

The trickier ones to predict are South Carolina and Florida. I haven't seen any polls come out of either of those states since back in the days when Gingrich was in the lead, so it's hard to say where those voters fell.
