The Detroit Free Press has endorsed U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for President in 2008, citing in part his support for National Service.
A former Navy pilot and Vietnam War prisoner of war whose personal ordeal and triumph make him the most inspiring candidate on either side, McCain is a passionate advocate for national service and volunteerism, and critical of the Bush administration for failing to rally Americans around their country after the horrors of 9/11.
“The Freep,” as its known to locals, has the largest daily circulation of all newspapers in Detroit. Michigan holds their Presidential Primary on Tuesday, January 15, 2008.
