Ha! There’s a shocker. Strange gets endorsed by the Gadsden Times last week, yet, for some reason, his endorsement is the only endorsement by the Gadsden Times not noted on this page. Folsom’s endorsements, on the other hand, get full coverage. Glad we’re being even handed on news stories.

Anonymous, I’m not sure if you’re the same individual that raised this issue in reference to yesterday’s digest or not, but I’ll repeat my self here:
Anoymous, sorry if my oversight offended you. The Gadsden Times frequently does not have their current day’s edition online, or only partly online, at the time that I usually prepare the digest (which means that it is not uncommon for today’s digest to include articles from the previous day’s Times). The digest is certainly not meant to be comprehensive and complete, and includes those articles that appear at the time I go to their website. Other articles may be added or deleted during the day. I’m not certain whether I just missed the enorsements of other constitutional offices or whether it was not yet posted when I reviewed the site on Thursday. I see that Thursday’s digest included the endorsements for appellate courts from that day’s edition of The Gadsden Times. I make an effort to include both sides of any issues or topics, and assure you that I was not trying to intentionally ignore the Times’ actions relative to Strange.
