(CNN) — The Nashua Telegraph is backing John McCain in New Hampshire’s GOP presidential primary, giving the Arizona senator the endorsement of nearly every major paper in the state. “At a time when some candidates present themselves to voters as something they haven't always been, we find the Arizona senator to be the genuine article,” the paper’s editorial board wrote in a Sunday editorial. “You might not always agree with his answers, but you won't leave a conversation wondering where he stands.” The paper praised him for arguing with presidential rival Mitt Romney over the use of waterboarding at the CNN/YouTube debate, for his military service, and for his willingness to cross the aisle over the objections of party leaders. The Telegraph endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama in an editorial last week. The paper also backed McCain during his 2000 White House run, when the senator won the Granite State’s Republican primary.
