John McCain's resurgent campaign got another boost with the endorsement of Red Sox hero, pitcher Curt Schilling. Via The Campaign Spot:
"I gotta go with McCain," said Schilling. "As we get through this, and we start to hear things, I'm not voting party line anymore. I'm voting for the guy that I know is going to be the same person four years from now that he was when [he was] elected. I need to trust somebody because I don't agree with anybody's platform front to back. I just need to know that the person that I'm putting in the office is not going to... people don't want to hear this but President Bush has stayed very true to what he's wanted, and what he's done, and I just think the office is bigger than any one person. I need somebody that I can trust to do right by the country and stick to their guns."
More, and links to background, at the link above. It is generally believed McCain's best chance at a victory in an early primary - which would complete his campaign's rise from the ashes of this past spring - lies in New Hampshire, a state he carried handily against Bush in 2000. Being a small state, their media is dominated by neighboring Boston, also home of the Red Sox . . . No endorsement truly makes a huge difference, but every little bit helps a little, and a thumbs-up from Curt Schilling sure won't hurt in the Granite State.
