Michael Kinsley is the editor of they LA Times. I really don't think there's much doubt about who the LA Times will endorse.

Good, they can lose tens of thousands more subscribers
To: Paleo Conservative
Yes. Their choice is shrouded in mystery!

How will they know which candidate they're endorsing -- Kerry of the "flip" or Kerry of the "flop".

Kinsley sounds as if he's been stealing from sKerry's flip flop play book or Dan's Book of Blathers.

This is all I will quote from the article.
Tony Day, who served as editorial page editor from 1971 to 1989, said Otis Chandler, the former publisher, had wanted to steer the paper away from its "ferociously Republican" roots and toward a more mainstream approach, so he stopped presidential endorsements after 1972. "At the time, it was the best thing to do because the paper was able to break with the past and continue what I think was a rather long march toward a more sophisticated, and dare I say more liberal, newspaper," Day told E&P.

Chiraq as a write-in candidate? Or maybe someone with a Latin flavor like Fidel or Chavez?
To: Paleo Conservative
Wow. I'm staying tuned. Who will they pick?

They didn't before? I guess I just never noticed that they never made a choice concerning the President (especially since they made choices for the offices in this state [mostly Democratics]).
Not that it mattered, it is almost a given who they are going to choose. If they ever said Bush, Hell would've official frozen over.

ROFLMAO!
Go ahead, dare to say liberal... that's like daring to state that a mile is longer than an inch ;-)

They will come out and say Bush will win because of the Swift boat guy's and all of the mean stuff coming out of the Bush camp. Kerry the victim poor Kerry the true war hero.

They didn't before? Not since 1972. Read the paragraph I quoted.

Gee, this is a really tough one. Can't wait to see who they pick. It may even sway me to subscribe.
