Boston Globe endorses Huntsman in Republican race

(Reuters) - Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, trailing in most polls in the volatile Republican presidential nominating contest, won the endorsement of the Boston Globe on Thursday, days before a primary vote in New Hampshire.

The Massachusetts-based newspaper, with a sizeable readership in the neighboring state that holds a primary election on January 10, praised Huntsman's solid credentials and a "far-sighted" vision on issues such as renewable energy, education and immigration.

Make no mistake, this is a definitive finger-in-the-eye to Mitt Romney, proving that no matter what you say or do as a (theoretical) "R" in Massachusetts, the Globe and liberal elite (but I repeat myself) will miss no opportunity to shiv you in the back. Romney paved the way for ObamaCare nationally and passed draconian gun control measures as MA governor, and yet still could not garner the (meaningless) support of the Boston Globe.

The Boston Globe's endorsement of the GOP nominee - any GOP nominee - should be viewed pretty much like the President of Ford endorsing someone for the head of Chrysler, really. The Globe's pick is almost certainly going to be the weakest candidate possible; either through a lack of name recognition, general unelectability, or a combination of factors. Much like the Globe waited 0.005 picoseconds after John McCain got the nod before they stabbed him in the back, it's a rock-solid lock that they'll endorse Obama in November.

I can't help but point out this part:

"With a strong record as governor of Utah and U.S. ambassador to China, arguably the most important overseas diplomatic post, Huntsman's credentials match those of anyone in the field," the Globe said in an editorial.

He's certainly more qualified than Barack Obama was in 2008 - hell, he's arguably more qualified than Barack Obama right now...

That is all.
