The Portsmouth Herald, one of the largest newspapers in New Hampshire, has jumped onto the McCain bandwagon and made their endorsement public…

John McCain has been leading the country from his seat in the U.S. Senate for 20 years. He is a man of integrity and honor who would help the Republicans rid themselves of the stench of Jack Abramoff and other lobbyists and allow the GOP to reclaim its status as the party of fiscal restraint. He is a strong military man prepared from day one to defend our nation against its enemies. Of all the Republicans running, he is by far the best qualified to lead our country.

We hope voters in the Republican primary will support John McCain.

Additionally, Senator Joe Lieberman is now planning to endorse McCain on Monday in New Hampshire.   Lieberman is a popular independent who was the Democratic nominee for Vice-President in 2000 and has since largely broken with his party, being re-elected to his seat in 2006 on the “Connecticut for Lieberman” line over a Democratic challenger.
