In New Hampshire, some McCain momentum?By Matt Stearns | McClatchy Newspapers
WEARE, N.H. — The hand-painted sign taped to the wall of the white clapboard town hall here said it all: "The Mac is Back."
It's unclear whether that's fact or hype. But certainly, there's a whiff — faint but growing stronger — of something that smells like momentum rising from Arizona Sen. John McCain's once-moribund presidential campaign.
Better attendance at his town-hall meetings. Newspaper endorsements, including the unlikely twin pillars of the right and left, the Manchester Union Leader and the Boston Globe, plus Iowa's Des Moines Register. A jolt of positive coverage about another endorsement, this one from Connecticut senator and former Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joseph Lieberman, who's now an independent Democrat. And increasing donations — the day of the Lieberman announcement was McCain's top online fundraising day so far.
