...I’ll add, too, that had McCain taken the nomination in 2000, he would’ve lost to Gore. I wouldn’t have voted for him (and the only reason I voted for him in ‘08 was for Palin, not for him, I can’t stand McCain at all).
Union Leader editors met with Romney to interview him and were majorleague turned off. They endorsed McCain to stop the Romney surge that was occuring.

John McCain is the man to lead America
By PUBLISHER JOSEPH W. MCQUAID

“We don’t agree with him on every issue. We disagree with him strongly on campaign finance reform. ..... We have known John McCain for many years. We will write more about him in the days ahead. For now, we leave you with this to ponder:
When McCain was shot down and taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese, he was repeatedly beaten. When his captors discovered that his father was a top U.S. admiral, they ordered him released for propaganda purposes. But McCain refused, insisting that longer-held prisoners be released before him. So they beat him some more. He never gave in then, and he won’t give in to our enemies now.
