I questioned this post also and sent Rod a note. The candidates should
be candidates and their names should be spelt correctly. This is
even more reason to question endorsements....and Rod should have
proofed and questioned before posting.
Revealing what one of my female friends went through a few years
ago at the Strib...she was black & GOP, (in case they need a jog in memory)
soured me towards endorsements. If a paper wishes to write about each
candidate...great, equal time...educate with truths but don't influence.
To come out and proclaim bullet balloting! Lots of interesting things
going on this year. Law suits, joining clubs to be dissidents, campaign
material with disclaimers more indepth than the candidates themselves,
and everyone has become an environmentalist in the last two weeks!

With no inkling of criteria used to "endorse" and Insight's obvious
obliviousness to the candidates, or at least their clear disrespect for
them in spelling some of their names wrong, (Louis Birnstein??, Tracy
Norstrom??), how can we take these "endorsements" seriously? Or maybe the
obvious answer is, we shouldn't...?
One other question: Given the number of folks on the list who were unhappy
with the Strib's Park Board calls, I wonder if it is appropriate to ask
the Strib editorial board what their process was, what the interview
questions were (assuming there were interviews), and what their criteria
for endorsement are - for ALL offices? That would help me understand some
of the story...
