D.C. is voting for a new mayor Tuesday, and it’s pretty much the only thing I’ve been thinking about for the past two weeks (shameless self-promotion alert).  Here are a couple of things to chew on before the polls open:

1. The Washington Post’s endorsement: I’m not offering my own opinion, but the Post is a good paper.  Of course, their editorial board has been a little loco lately, what with their Lieberman endorsement and all, and they also once endorsed Marion Barry.  Lesson: draw your own opinions.  But, hey, the Post is a good paper.  Just saying.

2. A Washington Post op-ed running today (Monday) about how and why they endorse candidates.  You may use this to illuminate your reading of the previous piece.

 Also, for propriety’s sake, I should let you know I worked for Washington Post-Newsweek Interactive this summer.  Still, it is a good paper.  Despite me.
