7. The threads are a riot.

5. Before the endorsement a lot of people thought it was the New York Times Jr

8. I believe I read here
that none of the candidates this paper has endorsed has gone on to win the Presidency.

So my vote would go to unreliable fish-wrap.

Since my candidate wasn't in the race to begin with, I had no horse in this race.

15. which I don't really understand
given the newspaper's record. I remember how happy we were in '88 when Paul Simon got the nod. We thought there would be a real momentum starting...but it didn't happen.
