Recovering, I could only wonder what happened to Sandra Doorley in her endorsement interview.
Mr. Taylor's outstanding qualifications and leadership tower above most of his contemporaries in political life. Recently we noted,When a Republican candidate is overwhelmingly qualified and intelligent, and usually when there's something a little underwhelming about the Dem, then sometimes the RBA under its current leadership and the D&C will endorse the R, after agonizing debate, which they'll often reference when making their announcement.True to form, this morning's editorial said, "The board reached this endorsement decision after a vigorous and angst-filled internal discussion." I'll bet.
We think the same explanation applies to the paper's unexpected endorsement of Maggie Brooks for re-election as County Executive: the overwhelmingly qualified and capable versus the underwhelming opponent.
Credit to the Democrat and Chronicle for accepting the evidence of its own eyes and ears.

I fully expected Brooks to be endorsed. They always endorse the R when they know that his/her victory is a forgone conclusion. It helps create the illusion of balance. To that end, I wonder what role was played in the Board's decision by the D&C poll showing Taylor up by 9.
I am glad the Taylor commercial that aired the last couple of days or so better defined him. His resume is substantially different from hers.
I believe they endorsed him because of her stupid remarks on Lonsberry and what must have been an awful interview...coupled with his obviously superior intellect!
When Taylor is such a smokin' better choice that EVEN THE D&C has to back him, it speaks volumes.
Almost equivalent to the Democratic Party cross-endorsing Taylor.
The other guy who nearly had a coronary had to be Joe Morelle!
Don't the Dems have ANYONE who could have even coached or prepped Doorley for five minutes, either for the Lonsberry interview or the D & C interview? She clearly did not prepare. On Lonsberry, she admitted she spent all of her judgeship campaign money ($100K)very quickly and then went on vacation?!? I hope she saved some of her money for resume paper!
