The Concord Monitor is one. Its a liberal rag, to be true, but they are picking the most electable Republican out there, so its not self-serving on their part.
The Detroit News has also endorsed John McCain. A short excerpt:
No matter whose ox is being gored, John McCain puts the country first. He is the leading critic of congressional earmarks to fund pork-barrel projects. He has co-sponsored campaign reforms to slow the influence of money in politics. He will use the veto pen if necessary to curb the growth of the federal government (nearly 50 percent during the past seven years).I don't agree with John on everything, but I know he will always put his country first, ahead of his own interests. I know thats not the case for the Democrats, and for some Republicans I have my doubts. I don't when it comes to John McCain.
The latest federal budget included more than 11,000 earmark projects worth roughly $20 billion -- or 12 times the number of earmarks in the 1996 budget. It will take a strong advocate for fiscal discipline in the White House to get spending under control. McCain has the experience to know when the economy needs a helping hand from the government, and when it would be better off without tinkering. Unlike Huckabee, he would not be tempted to respond to an economic bump with populist solutions that do more harm than good.
