Endorsements are here

The Times-Mirror's campaign coverage is heading into the home stretch -- we came out Oct. 24 with endorsements of several key contested local and state races.

Agree or disagree, this is what makes America great – the First Amendment.

Keep in mind, these endorsements are our opinion. I have worked in this business since November 1969. I can't ever remember an election being decided by a newspaper, radio or television station. And I doubt any online pundits will determine this year's outcome in Loudoun.

The voters decide the issues. The voters need to get involved. They are the ones who evaluate the candidates.

Hold on tight -- it should be a wild ride to the finish, the night of Tuesday, Nov. 6.
