Per Reuters:
Republican Jon Huntsman, who has based his 2012 campaign for the White House almost exclusively on a strong showing in New Hampshire, has been rewarded with endorsements from two newspapers in the state with an early primary election.
The Keene Sentinel and the Valley News both praised the former U.S. ambassador to China in editorials on Sunday.
The endorsements were another snub to Mitt Romney, a former governor of neighboring Massachusetts who has dominated most opinion polls in New Hampshire this year but whose lead has recently narrowed in the race for the Republican nomination to run for president.
In late November, the only state-wide New Hampshire newspaper, the conservative Union Leader, endorsed former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich over Romney.
That’s really a surprise that they’d endorse Huntsman over what would be perceived as (almost) their home-town candidate. Wonder if they know something the rest of the country doesn’t?
