re: #7 teleskiguy
I assume the Post is the local paper with a conservative editorial board?
On another note… I find it interesting that endorsements of Republicans still include a bit about “ideas”. I think the conservative movement is at the same place the liberal movement was in the mid to lates 70s - wholly without ideas to face the challenges of the moment (and instead offering mostly the same solutions that they had for decades). The progressive/liberal movement seems to have ideas and policies to face the challenges of today. The conservative movement hasn’t had a new idea in a solid 15 years.
