Dear TGCN, Thanks for your comment. Hmmm, a couple of editors at a big corporate newspaper sat around drinking coffee and briefly discussing the several hundred candidates, about whom they know virtually nothing, and decided to give Mr. Gordon a lukewarm endorsement. Okay, nice for Don, I guess, but what does it really mean when editors who do not live in our ward endorse a candidate to represent our ward? A campaign sign in somebody's window means more. How about you?
I was wondering how you felt about the Don Gordon endorsement by the Chicago Tribune?
