Boston Globe endorses Huntsman in Republican race

Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, trailing in most polls in the volatile Republican presidential nominating contest, won the endorsement of the Boston Globe on Thursday, days before a primary vote in New Hampshire.

The Massachusetts-based newspaper, with a sizeable readership in the neighboring state that holds a primary election on Jan. 10, praised Huntsman's solid credentials and a "far-sighted" vision on issues such as renewable energy, education and immigration. (Reuters)
