That bastion of conservative advocacy known as the New York Times Editorial Board has endorsed a candidate in the Republican race:

Senator John McCain

Why? Because of his positions that are at odds with grassroots Republicans:

“…Arizona Sen. John McCain as “the only “Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry fringe.”

But McCain, the New York Times said, “has been a staunch advocate of campaign finance reform, working with Senator Russ Feingold, among the most liberal of Democrats, on groundbreaking legislation, just as he worked with Senator Edward Kennedy on immigration reform.

McCain gets another liberal endorsment. Who didn't see that one coming!?

When Romney won his Governor's race, I am pretty sure that the liberal media endorsed his opponent in that one too.

NY is going to nominate Mitt! Sorry NYT, you endorsed the losing team.
