ST. LOUIS Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was released from a hospital Thursday after undergoing tests for flulike symptoms and spending the night. "I feel great," he said as he left Barnes-Jewish Hospital en route to returning to New York. The former New York mayor felt the symptoms while campaigning for the nomination in Missouri, and they soon became worse, campaign spokeswoman Katie Levinson said late Wednesday. She did not describe the symptoms beyond those commonly associated with the flu. WASHINGTON President Bush offersa tidbit of advice President Bush, who has largely declined to comment on the 2008 presidential campaign, offered general guidance Thursday to his successor. "You can't be the president unless you have a firm set of principles to guide you, as you sort through all the problems the world faces. ... I would be very hesitant to support somebody who relied upon opinion polls and focus groups to define a way forward for a president." BOSTON, Detroit Another newspaper in Boston backs McCain John McCain has been endorsed by both of Mitt Romney's hometown newspapers, a boost to the Republican presidential contender and a blow to the former Massachusetts governor who taunts his opponents with negative e-mails titled, "Those who know him best." The Boston Herald, the state's conservative tabloid, said in an online editorial Thursday, "There are times in this nation's history so perilous that they cry out for ...a person so trusted that we would put the fate of this country in his hands. This is one of those times, and Sen. John McCain is that person." The newspaper did not mention Romney, who led Massachusetts from 2003 to January 2007. The Herald and the Boston Globe, which also backed McCain this week, circulate in vote-rich southern New Hampshire. Also, McCain defended his integrity, declaring that he had "never done any favors for anybody - lobbyist or special interest group." He made the remark in Detroit when questioned about a report that the New York Times was investigating allegations of legislative favoritism.
