The Wildcat opinions board state that their “Endorsements are based on candidates’ platforms and if applicable, records in office, with special attention paid to their history with and plans for higher education.”

Read online Wildcat (or today’s paper edition) for rationales: http://wildcat.arizona.edu/perspectives

As for the U.S. Senate race (page A5), the Wildcat editors state “A closer look, however, reveals a race that is embarrassing for both candidates. McCain’s record on education this past decade is abysmal.” As for Glassman, they say ” Despite his degrees from and his connections to the UA, Glassman has not offered anything substantial when it comes to education. His website is vague about how he would improve Arizona’s educational standing, and Glassman himself has been equally vague in interviews & public appearances…”

These endorsements are similar to The Tucson Weekly’s, which endorsed Democrats except for the “no recommendation” in the U.S. Senate race. Read my previous articles on newspaper endorsements (click here.)

Vote wisely, on or before November 2nd.
