Yesterday, September 7, the Manchester Union Leader endorsed Pat Buchanan
for President in an editorial written by the paper's publisher, Nackey
Loeb.  The editorial in New Hampshire's largest circulation daily
newspaper (72,000 on Mon-Sat and 110,000 on Sunday) ran on the front page
of Thursday's paper.

  The text of the editorial, "Go, Pat, Go," is as follows: 
     "We are proud to support Pat Buchanan for President of the United 
States.
     Among the Republican candidates, and New Hampshire has seen them 
all, Pat stands head and shoulders above the crowd.  Our country is in 
great need of a leader whom we can trust, who has moral integrity, who 
would put America first, and who is capable of sending Bill Clinton back 
to Arkansas.
     In our opinion, Pat fill all those requirements. 
     Above all, we can trust Pat Buchanan as a man who says what he 
believes and believes what he says.  Of all the viable candidates, he is 
the only one who has not shifted his positions to curry favor with the 
mood of the moment.
     Yes, Pat Buchanan can win.  Even the political pundits who just 
months ago were calling him a no-win candidate are now taking him 
seriously.  His support among voters is risings, slowly but surely, as 
they begin to understand what he is all about.
     There are large blocs of voters out there -- from the so-called 
religious right to former Perot supporters to individuals fed up with 
politics as usual -- all looking for a champion.  We have heard their 
applause, whether in Texas or Iowa or all the other places where Buchanan 
has been speaking. 
     His detractors say that he can't raise the money, but this is where 
New Hampshire comes in.  Give him a victory here and the contributions 
will roll in.  He won't be following the usual politician's route of 
making fancy promises or going back on his word to get financial support.
     As for organization, it may be smaller and less professional than 
the high slaried campaigns; but just as Pat Buchanan is a believer, his 
workers are believers and that can count a lot on the long, grueling 
campaign trail ahead.
     The faint of heart may fear Pat's bulldog tenacity, but let's be 
honest.  It is going to take more than smiles and sweet talk to remove 
a master campaigner like Bill Clinton from office.  Some note that Pat 
has never held political office, but in our opinion, that is to his 
credit.  He comes with no strings attached.
     At the same time, he has had first-hand experience with the office 
of the President.  Through his service to three Presidents, Nixon, Ford, 
and Reagan, he knows the responsibilities and also the pitfalls that 
come  with the territory.
     Pat Buchanan would be a great leader for America, and if you join us 
in supporting him, he can be a winner."
