Newt in New Hampshire!

New Hampshire's largest newspaper, the Union Leader, endorsed former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich as their favorite 2012-Republican-presidential-nominee wannabee in their Sunday editorial today.

Not sure they carry much weight anymore, but this is telling. The emphasis is mine:

The front page one editorial, signed by publisher Joseph W. McQuaid, suggested that the only state-wide newspaper in New Hampshire was ready to again assert itself as a player in the GOP primary.

"We don't have to agree with them on every issue," the newspaper wrote in an editorial that ran across the width of the front page. "We would rather back someone with whom we may sometimes disagree than one who tells us what he thinks we want to hear."

But not surprisingly, Mitt Romney still leads the pack.  Still waiting for Jon Huntsman to surge...
