In presidential campaign news, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich received a boost Sunday when he received the endorsement of the Manchester Union Leader, New Hampshire’s largest newspaper. New Hampshire holds the nation’s first presidential primary on Jan. 10. For the second campaign in a row, the newspaper has passed on endorsing former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney despite his lead in the New Hampshire polls. The newspaper endorsed John McCain in the 2008 race. In the 2000 race, the newspaper picked Steve Forbes over George W. Bush.
