Endorsements: Surprisingly, John McCain managed to get the endorsement of Senator Joseph Lieberman, an independent who was the 2000 Democratic Nominee for president. So what made Lieberman choose to endorse a Republican over a Democrat? Because he believes that McCain “has the best chance of uniting the country in its fight against Islamic terrorism." Also, Iowa’s largest newspaper, the Des Moines Register, endorsed both John McCain and Hillary Clinton for the 2008 Iowa Caucuses and the Boston Globe endorsed both John McCain and Barack Obama. McCain believes that these endorsements will help boost his campaign in Iowa. Also, shedding light on McCain’s military background, over 100 generals and admirals including retired Admiral Leighton Smith and General Stan Spears have endorsed McCain.
In the News: Staying true to his stance against torture, McCain has proposed a new course in both civilian and military schools that will discuss alternative means of acquiring information. Also, McCain called on Huckabee to end push polling in New Hampshire while Huckabee denied any involvement. McCain discussed his endorsements while on a presidential campaign in Fort Meyers, Florida. Also, McCain makes his twelfth trip to the Charleston area and talked about government spending, the war in Iraq, and immigration.

This last round of endorsements is coming in hard and heavy on all the Republicans - you have to wonder the effect of these, especially with such recognizable names as Lieberman. I wonder if its planned out for a last-minute surge before people go in to vote in the primaries, or if it is honestly just a late endorsement.
