I’ve written a lot of columns over the years about how and why we endorse candidates in elections. Rather than repeat myself, here are links to a few of those columns:

• February 13, 2000
  — Endorsement calls tough, but worth it.
• June 11, 2000
  — At election time, you don’t get to pick ‘all of the above’
• November 7, 2000
  — Here’s how and why we endorse
• May 30, 2004
  — Some of our endorsement may surprise you and me both
• June 13, 2004
  — Good news: We ‘won’ with DeMint, and ‘lost’ with Quinn
