The most dispicable people usually 'win' the ''I'm better than you, cause I can beat you up contest.''

Look at recent examples of that reality. Penn State (former) Head football coach, Joe Paterno, and his football factory were known for over 40 years...being on top, the elite..the 'best.' But now, it appears the best...were also the Corrupt.


Our society is brainwashed to run to, and support the superior looking 'tough guys'...who actually have little, or NO character nor integrity or morals. And sadly, that's what we've been getting in out politicians these last 20 or more years. - Just examine the record!

LauraC is wisely Correct. We need a geniune, honest, dedicated man or woman...who cares about the condition of their country..who seriously will work to rebuild and restore the quality back to her!!

Not some so-called 'skilled winner'

Okay, who the heck do you want to win? You have to elect someone that can actually win or you should just vote for Obama again. That would be a freaking nightmare having 8 years of Jimmy Carter... I'd rather get 70-80% of what I want then to fly my flag over a cliff.

Seriously, though, does the average voter, especially today with the age of the internet and 24 hour news cycle, really care much who a local newspaper endorses? How many voters' minds are changed because this newsppaer wil now run pro-Gingrich stories non-stop?

Personally, I still think Romney can and likely will win NH, especially if he comes in second in Iowa behind a Bachmann or Cain or Perry. If Gingrich wins Iowa, then maybe NH gets more competitive, or maybe, like they did to Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary, they vote with whom they feel the most comfortable.

Have you heard about the big 'STOP Romney' movement by Iowa GOP powerbrokers?

my point i guess is the same as yours.

a newspaper endorsement means nothing in an election, and their endorsement didn't help mccain.

i notice that you ignore ron paul's chances in your post, who consistently polls higher than some of your names listed.

this might be an interesting republican primary.

i know i am going to vote.

AS I have mentioned, like you, endorsements don't mean a lot but they certainly do not hurt. As for Paul, he isn't going to win in NH either or it is very unlikely...

You're safe. Paul is not even on the radar screen...ANYWHERE!

Let us retrace Newt's foot prints before handing over that endorsement.
so ya think most voters would endure 4 more years: well, let's see who gets the Republican nomination before we start counting our chickens. BTW: the endorsement has been made, too late for your advise. I am sure the paper would have paid close attention to you.
