Our recommendations
Tuesday's editorial:
During October, we offered endorsements in most national, state and local races on Guilford County ballots, as well as tax and bond questions. These aren’t directives. We just ask readers to consider them informed opinions. We only insist that everyone vote.
Here’s a recap. Candidates are designated D for Democrat or R for Republican, except where elections are nonpartisan. We didn’t comment on uncontested races.

WHO CARES? Many of your former picks are in jail*. Many more should be! Informed decision BS.My opinion anyone that would endorse Roy Cooper, are Kay Hagan, is any thing but informed.

We? Unanimous? What's wrong with attaching names of the endorsers?
