I don't know if this will make a difference, but it's probably the most influential newspaper endorsement in NH.

1. No surprise, little impact

The Monitor always talks a good game, but in the end they inevitably endorse the Establishment candidate. There's a bit of a phony-baloney streak to the ConMon.

Besides, the paper's circulation is actually fairly small. It's nowhere close to the Union leader, and Foster's, the Nashua Telegraph and probably the Lawrence Eagle Tribune have more readers. People think of it as influential mainly because everyone at the State House reads it.

2. Hillary, can't hold a candle to her husband.

Oh she pretends and the fools believe and WANT to believe there's some magic because she just happens to be married to Clinton....Shit, such third world thinking....the wife and the son and the daughter taking office as if they are brilliant or royalty just by being married to some off spring....there's always the fools who want to believe it....it's easy & mindless for them....they watch television and television tells them to vote for Hillary she's the best....even the republican give her money and say she's the best democrat....it's the republicans best chance to win and they know it....the republicans know they'll NEVER have a chance at an African-American as the Dem candidate....that's not going to happen...there will not be an African=American first lady....if you believe differently then should she be president of the United States too? How about Laura Bush maybe she should be president she married to a president....Oh but Hillary is a New York senator....right like she would be if her husband wasn't president of the United States....The fools don't even know every aspect of her right-wing policy and moderate bullshit....they are truly fools, robots!

4. *yawn* She's the true President in that family. Bill rode her coattails.

He would never have become President without her.

5. huh?

what a garbled mish mash. Try taking an English Comp 101 course.
As it happens, I don't support Clinton, but hardly because of your lame-o reasons.

8. Third world thinking...thank you

a failure of the imagination indeed (if it happens).

3. NH will be determined by Iowa not by an endorsement.

9. It may be nice

but it's hardly the most influential newspaper endorsement in NH.

A few years ago I was working for a group organizing a visit to Concord by Ben Cohen of True Majority. It was in the summer. I called the Monitor, and they told me they weren't going to send a reporter, because they "don't cover politics in the summer."

Half the time they don't cover political events/actions in Concord.

It's pretty meaningless, imho.
