A nice Monday capped a nice weekend for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. In case you have a life and missed it this weekend, the Arizona senator picked up endorsements from the Des Moines Register, Boston Globe and Portsmouth Herald. Both the Globe and Herald are influential in New Hampshire. Then today, Connecticut's former Democratic and now Independent senator Joe Lieberman endorsed the McCain. Lieberman, though independent in official party affiliation, caucuses with Dems and of course was the Dem VP nominee the last time around. He chose to back McCain over all Dem candidates including his fellow CT senator Chris Dodd.
Another Republican presidential hopeful had a strong weekend, too. Ten-term Texas Congressman Ron Paul took in a reported $6.2 million in online contributions Sunday. The Paul campaign continues to poll near the bottom of the pack but its enthusiastic following is keeping the money coming in. You'll recall on November 5,Paul took in $4.2 million in online contributions which was a single-day record for campaign money raised online.
