Endorsement Round-Up

John McCain has received a lot of important endorsements lately. Among them are many newspapers, including the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Portsmouth Herald, the Boston Globe and the Des Moines Register.

Also important, however, are the recent endorsements of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Senator Joe Lieberman. The latter is especially important for this election cycle. This is not going to be an easy win for the Republican party this year; unless the GOP can attract the independent vote and the crossover vote of people like Joe Lieberman, victory in Nov 2008 will be impossible. John McCain is consistently the conservative best able to draw independent voters to the GOP. Among all the Republican candidates, he fares the best poll after poll against the 3 likely Democratic candidates. If the GOP wants to avoid another blowout like 1964, John McCain is the party's best bet.
