THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL ENDORSES JOHN MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT
"[A]t some point, voters do have to choose, and that choice seems quite clear. We recommend Arizona Sen. John McCain ... His torturous captivity as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam provides a powerful and stirring tale of one man's fidelity to duty and love of country. To many, this alone might commend him for higher office. However, his public service afterward also compels a vote for McCain in our state's open primary. As a U.S. senator, he has been - despite rhetoric to the contrary - a dependable conservative voice." -- The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Excerpts From "McCain: Principles Count"
The Arizona senator's principles have selectively guided him to courageous stands and demonstrated an ability to transcend both party and ideology.

By staying in a race that the numbers say he cannot win, Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, is offering Wisconsin's primary voters a choice.
He is quite correct in resisting party pressure to step aside. An early coronation might satisfy the party pooh-bahs but is not a worthy substitute for a well-argued and contested election - the latter better serving the electorate. These are points Huckabee himself makes.
But at some point, voters do have to choose, and that choice seems quite clear. We recommend Arizona Sen. John McCain in Wisconsin's GOP primary on Tuesday.
