Well, after the PD Editorial Board voted
5-2 to endorse Kerry, and Machaskee overruled them and insisted that the paper endorse Bush, it appears there's been a settlement. Some reports say the
Editors threatened to walk out, so the paper punted, and
will have NO endorsement.
Since Machaskee is a die-hard Republican and has deep-rooted hatred of Richard Holbrook over the bombing of Serbia, this has to be considered a victory for the Kerry campaign.
