Pick one and only one. Anything else is nothing more than hedging your bet, isn't it?

Today's Union Leader touches on something that has been in my mind lately: How can a newspaper endorse someone of each party? Just as a voter must select one party or the other, shouldn't it be the same with newspaper editorial decision makers? Yeah- I know that they are the press and have a right to free speech- no argument from me there, but still, it just doesn't seem right. What if both of their endorsees win their primaries? Then what?

In this race, our most important consideration is electing the candidate most likely to bring American victory in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the greater war on Islamic extremists in general, and keep America's enemies and rivals in check. John McCain is that man. None of the Democrats approaches McCain's experience and vision on that subject.
This is as it should be. The two parties must differ from each other. If not, we've got a problem. With their lament that they were planning on picking one from each party notwithstanding, my hat's off to them. Apparently the Boston Herald chose this tack as well.
