The Daily Times Call endorses John McCain for president:
McCain’s career is that of a man who has demonstrated leadership, creativity, persistence and personal courage throughout his life. McCain has not been hesitant to let his voice and ideas be heard on the major issues of the day. His fundamental belief in the strong future of the United States — a country for which he nearly gave his life — will inspire Americans to reach their full potential.
This is a time when Americans must find inner reserves of personal and national strength. John McCain, as an individual, has done that, and he is in the best position to help lead the way to a brighter future.

The Bradenton Herald recommends John McCain for president:
We commend Obama for making history by becoming the first African American to stand before the country as his party’s nominee for president.
He has waged a worthy campaign, one focused on the theme of change. We heartily agree that change is paramount, but we hold fundamental philosophical differences with his plans for the nation.
And we do not believe that a candidate full of promise and hope but lacking in experience can lead the country through these troubled and demanding times. We believe McCain is that leader.
We support John McCain for president of the United States.

The Journal says John McCain is the obvious choice:
It is not too much to say that the contest for president this year pits a dedicated liberal politician, Obama, against a veteran servant of the public - McCain. Obama is easily the most liberal of the 100 senators. His running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden, is a close second.
Simply because McCain's character has been one of service to the people - not to a political party or the gigantic federal bureaucracy - we urge residents of our area to vote for John McCain, the leader Americans need.

The Fargo Forum says this country needs McCain's experience:
John McCain is not the perfect presidential candidate. But he’s a better choice than Barack Obama.
McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona, embodies traditional conservative values, a streak of independence and the depth of experience that qualify him for the Oval Office. At a time when the nation faces extraordinarily difficult challenges at home and abroad, Americans should not put a rookie in the highest office in the land.
Obama, with not even a full term as a Democratic senator from Illinois, is a rookie. He’s articulate, charismatic and intelligent, but he’s not experienced. His domestic policy tilts socialistically toward unprecedented government control of almost every aspect of American life. His programs, if implemented, would plunge the nation into a deeper economic hole.

The Jackson Sun says this country needs somebody fearless and with leadership skills. This means McCain:
McCain has proven himself able to operate under pressure. He has decades of experience in foreign policy and can face the toughest foes with confidence. He has proven himself a seasoned negotiator in Congress, working across the aisle to pass difficult legislation over the years. He knows how, and when, to compromise.
Despite his toughness, McCain has demonstrated a deep caring for those in need, for family values, for our troops and our veterans. He understands hard work and sacrifice, and can lead the nation through these tough times by example.
To balance his ticket, McCain boldly chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be the nation's first female vice president. Her intelligence, vitality and strong family values have energized and inspired Americans.

McCain is best for the United States says the Leaf-Chronicle:
McCain's opponent for the presidency, Barack Obama, is an honorable man and worthy political adversary. Some might argue his relative lack of experience in Washington would be a breath of fresh air. He has run a historic campaign that has energized citizens — including many young people — who previously sat on the sidelines. We've also been disappointed that McCain's Straight Talk Express appeared to jump the tracks when he adopted a more guarded, sometimes stiff, approach that hindered his ability to connect effectively with some voters.
His surprise choice of running mate Sarah Palin — while energizing the GOP base and a breath of fresh air in her own right — also has turned off some because of her lack of experience in the national and international arenas.
So, our recommendation for John McCain does come with some reservations. When weighing the pros and cons, however, we believe he would take the country in the direction that is in its best interests, and that is why he is our choice for president of the United States.

The Beaumont Enterprise has an extremely brief endorsement:
President: John McCain. The Arizona senator has the right combination of experience and innovation to lead this nation for the next four years. Barack Obama is an inspiring candidate with impressive talents. But he doesn't yet have the background to take on the world's most important job.
That is it.

To the Wharton Journal-Spectator, McCain has the right qualifications. This one is part of a three-part endorsement:
Of all the foreign policy challenges that the United States faces, the only country that Obama has publicly suggested we bomb is the only one that has been in any way cooperative in our struggle against radical jihadists - nuclearized Pakistan. This is consistent with Obama's opposition to a free trade agreement with Colombia, America's strongest ally in South America.
As for more hostile nations, Obama seems to believe that he can make an argument so brilliant and so eloquent that the world's tyrants will be struck as if by a blinding light and be reformed like Paul on his way to slay the Christians in Damascus.
If only given the opportunity he could have Putin, Kim Jong-Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad holding hands with us and singing "Coom Ba Ya" in no time. We think Obama's foreign policy outlook naive - which played a large part in our endorsement of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary. We believed that she had the stern resolve necessary to stare down America's enemies. We have no such confidence in Obama or his running mate Sen. Joe Biden.
