Just a quick question?

[norepubsin08]

When a hometown newspaper endorses a presidential candidate, what percentage of the vote do you think that directly secures for that candidate, and indirectly what sort of bearing do you think that his in an undecided voters mind?

1. if I agree with the Editorial board, I have been swayed by such endorsements

especially in the down ticket races

3. I agree. The impact on down ticket races is much greater

City Council, School Board elections, County Supervisors etc. If I disagree with Paper's Editorial slant then I'll vote against their endorsement

2. When a business endorses a candidate, that makes me look askance at the candidate.
