Discussion: NJ Star-Ledger Goes Toe-To-Toe With N.H. Union Leader Over Christie Endorsement

“I think after the experience of the past eight years, freshmen senators without a lot of experience aren’t good,” he said, explaining why the newspaper discounted Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL).

So he thinks GW did a better job than Obama? What a fool!!

Moran also fumbled the New Hampshire newspaper’s name. The column says the endorsement was from the “Manchester Union-Leader.”

I love that the writer of the article called Moran out for using wrong name for the paper. I have no idea how old Moran is, but if he is older that 30, he might know more than the author if this article. From 1944 until 2005, the paper was, indeed, the Manchester Union Leader. Even people who write articles for TPM would benefit from Google and Wikipedia.

How can you say that? In June, Christie was at 5% in NH. Now he’s at 5.3%. With this trajectory, he’ll be a shoo-in in the year 2030.

The column says the endorsement was from the “Manchester Union-Leader.”

I’d never noticed they’d changed that. The Union-Leader was the most powerful paper in the state back when William Loeb had it constantly warning in banner heds about this or that Jew-Commie conspiracy.

Then there are still folks referring to the Manchester Guardian, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the identity of the locations adds a touch of surreality to the confusion.

Yeah, but he was at 7 percent a month ago, and now’s at 5.3 percent (according to Pollster). So with that trajectory, he’ll be at zero just in time for the primary. :hankey:
