endorse-o-matic 2006
Hey there, it’s election day. Voting is really confusing; so why not let your favorite newspaper’s editorial board make decisions for you. Even better, why not take a weighted average of all three of the city’s papers recommendations and go from there. Rather than reading them for yourself, feel free to print out this handy table of endorsements and take it with you to the voting booth?

I was waiting for this. With growth in by-mail voting, you’ll need to start compiling in August.
yeah. I meant to post it earlier. I was out of town most of last week and by the time I got around to compiling, I was in an airport without free WiFi.
Excuses, excuses, and a resolution to try harder next time.
