The Boston Globe endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich for Republican party nomination for president, telling New Hampshire GOP voters that they have a chance to reward a politician who has been largely positive and slap down candidates who have been appealing to fears and biases.
The editorial said in part: "The Globe urges them to support John Kasich, whose record as governor of Ohio shows him to be a pragmatic, fiscally responsible executive, but one who is also concerned with helping the poor. His success in that important swing state, and his record as a moderate conservative who is willing to compromise in pursuit of results, suggests he is the Republican hopeful most likely to be successful on the national stage."
