A lady is known by the product she endorses.
Arlen Specter is the man who voted in favor of Bill Clinton during impeachment, voted against Robert Bork for the Supreme Court, voted against school choice for the District of Columbia, endorses an absolutist interpretation of abortion rights. He is bright and he is tough and he belongs elsewhere.
It is with tremendous excitement and pride that EMILY's List endorses Senator Hillary Clinton for president.
The editorial board, who endorses candidates, is totally separate from the news side of the business. We don't consult one another. They have one job to do, we have a totally different one to do. So whether the Washington Post editorial board endorses Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is meaningless to me.
There is always some element of competition. As and when more players show interest in a space, it endorses increasing demand. I have never taken competition as a treat.
