"Governor Candidates"  Am I the only who thinks that
looks and sounds grammatically incorrect?  Shouldn't
they have used the term "gubernatorial"?  You can be a
"candidate for governor" but not a "governor
candidate."  Much like one being a "senatorial,"
"presidential," or "congressional," candidate rather
than a "senator candidate," "president candidate," or
"congressperson candidate."  

I wonder if the Skyways News didn't have enough space
to spell out the longer word or what?  I wasn't going
to say anything until they used in their headline two
weeks in a row.  BTW, I apologize if, by some strange
stroke, someone else addressed this already.
