I'm Sure It Will Be A Tough Decision

L.A. Times May Break Tradition, Make Choice for President

The Los Angeles Times, which has not endorsed a candidate for president since the 1972 election, may change its policy this year under new editorial/opinion editor Michael Kinsley.

"If it was up to me, I imagine we would do it," Kinsley told E&P about the prospect of offering a presidential endorsement this year. "Every four years it gets discussed and it is under discussion."

Kinsley, the former Slate and New Republic editor and longtime TV "Crossfire" commentator, took over the top editorial post June 15. Since then, he said the editorial board has considered bringing back the White House endorsement.

"There are pros and cons. The pro is that editorial pages are supposed to have opinions and this is the most important opinion going," Kinsley said. "The con is that you have to deal with making the decision and there is a tradition we have had of not endorsing."

Gee, I wonder who they will endorse?
