adam: today, presidential

candidate chris christie received the endorsement of "the new hampshire union leader," a coveted prize for any conservative candidate. the publisher called christie right for these dangerous times and pointed to his accomplishments as a u.s. attorney and governor as reasons for giving him the nod over the rest of the field. thanks for being here to put this in context. what could this endorsement do for governor christie and what can he do with it? >> against governor christie a reason to fight on. this caps off what has been an up-and-down month for him. he got kicked off the national debate stage because of low poll numbers. but his constant politicking in new hampshire is paying off with national media stories about how he seems to be gaining traction. now it topped off with this endorsement. his investors in his campaign, he can say it is paying off. give me 10 more weeks to prove what i can do.

what can a candidate due to maximize the benefit of an endorsement? >> you will see the endorsement early and often on his ads which have been running for months. he will make a point of talking about that in his town hall meetings. he has done dozens by now. the good news is he has a campaign that can use the message, reinforce it over and over again. that will be a big help. "the union leader" will follow-up with additional editorials as well. adam: we have seen governor christie hovering at about 5% in most polls in new hampshire. he is in this competitive triangle with governor kasich and jeb bush. what happens in that triangle as they vie to break into the upper tier? >> one of them will emerge from new hampshire may be. it could be none of them. for all of them, it is win or go home in new hampshire. they are all struggling to reach out to the moderate, somewhat conservative voters. this endorsement gives christie an edge over the two of them.

the puts them in the shadows. even though christie is only a 4%, donald trump is just in the 20%-20 5% himself, so he is reachable. 10 weeks is going to be a lifetime because a lot of voters have not decided. adam: it is not just this one endorsement. they can continue on the editorial page to boost christie and attack other candidates. >> that will meet january interesting when voters start tuning in for preparation for voting in february. will they go after trump in editorials? adam: this does not name other names but does kick dirt on other candidates. it says we don' t need another fast talking senator trying to run the government. a dig at barack obama, ted cruz, and rand paul. >> it is a departure. "the union leader" in the 90' s and 2000 were willing to roll

candidates. lately they have been about experience and credentials. they endorsed john mccain in 2008. newt gingrich in 2012, and now chris christie who is no one' s candidate. more of a somewhat conservative candidate. adam: it will be fascinating to see how this plays out. thank you for your time. for more political coverage, visit us online at wmur.com/ politics. we have historical footage, including the infamous breakdown outside "the union leader" in 1972. there are interviews on previous campaigns and we add more every week. >> now, meteorologist josh judge with your forecast. josh: it was cooler, but we had plenty of sunshine. it was a nice day but not as warm. a breeze at times as well. temperatures have sunk into the upper 20' s in the northern part of the state. 30' s everywhere else and falling quickly as temperatures drop
