Governor & Gubernatorial race & Endorsements 19 Oct 2006 12:49 pm
More Schwarzenegger endorsements
The San Francisco Chronicle today became the latest major newspaper to endorse the governor for re-election, saying in its endorsement editorial, “Overall, he’s on the right course.” Of his opponent, the Chronicle observed:
Angelides … has not demonstrated the leadership traits required to build coalitions that can overcome the egos, ambition and partisan rivalries that stand in the way of progress in Sacramento … In his meeting with us, many of his answers gave no indication that he either heard or cared about the question — time after time, he defaulted to his wind-up stump monologues about education or closing tax loopholes.
The Chronicle’s endorsement follows on endorsements of the governor by the Los Angeles Times and the Sacramento Bee this weekend. Opinion columnists and bloggers for both papers wrote after the Chronicle’s endorsement that the Times and the Bee found Angelides unworthy of endorsement for reasons similar to those outlined in the Chronicle editorial.
The San Diego Union-Tribune has also endorsed Schwarzenegger.
