Another NH Paper Slams Romney

Hot on the heels of Sunday’s Concord Monitor “undorsement,” another New Hampshire newspaper has issued a blistering indictment of Mitt Romney. A Union-Leader editorial says Granite Staters are unconvinced by Romney’s “expertly rehearsed sales pitch,” because despite having “all the advantages: money, organization, statesman-like hair,” Romney is not “a candidate who will look them in the eye and tell them the truth.”

The Union-Leader asserts “the more Mitt Romney speaks, the less believable he becomes,” citing his half-truths on being a longtime hunter and watching his father march with Martin Luther King. The paper sides with NH voters it says are moving their support to John McCain, with whom they might not agree on everything, but “who won't lie to get elected." (More Mitt Romney stories.)
