Can you imagine what would have been on the front page if such a thing had happened to Chuck Rosenthal? I am no supporter of Rosenthal but even his administration never was the target of a Grand Jury. This is just a fraction of what the voters don't realize about how bad Lykos is. You won't being reading anything negative about Lykos in the Chronicle. There is a menage-a-trois going on between Lykos, the Chronicle, and Jared Woodfil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-28372219343822908982011-12-13T22:36:24.921-06:002011-12-13T22:36:24.921-06:00To Anon December 12, 12:39 PM,

I agree wi...To Anonymous December 9, 2011 1:33 PM <br /><br />I agree with you. Wrong is wrong. <br /><br />But I'm not sure accepting a political endorsement can be viewed in the specific context of "right vs. wrong." A more accurate context would probably be "like vs. dislike." <br /><br />Unless, of course, the person giving the endorsement was a convicted felon, serial killer, pedophile, etc.<br /><br />But as far as I can tell, and I don't know him beyond the Voting Guide he puts out every season, Terry Lowery is none of those. He's just a guy that you and I dislike and disagree with. <br /><br />And if its just that we disagree with him or dislike him, then I don't think that is enough to conclude definitively that Anderson's acceptance of his endorsement was "wrong." <br /><br />Its not so much a sense of "wrong" as it is, "we just don't like it." <br /><br />In that perspective, I don't think its a deal that will "cloud the issue" with most voters. <br /><br />And again, we're talking about a political endorsement. Its not like they're hanging out together on the weekends and texting the world about their new BFF.<br /> <br />I don't like it. Its not what I would have done. But its not enough to dissaude me from supporting Anderson over Lykos.Mark W.
