				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m in suspense.  Whom will the Arizona Daily Star endorse for Governor and the #2 seat, Secretary of State?  So far they have endorsed (with early voting starting on October 7, for the November 2 General Election):</p>
<p>Gary Pierce (R) and Brenda Burns (R) for Arizona Corporation Commission (2 seats open) on October 13: <a href="http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_1c98e870-14c6-5795-9287-070dd6fa1cf2.html">http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_1c98e870-14c6-5795-9287-070dd6fa1cf2.html<br />
</a></p>
<p>Penny Kotterman (D) for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction on October 12:<br />
<a href="http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_edaa04de-b0ef-523a-b520-678f9d8e35db.html">http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_edaa04de-b0ef-523a-b520-678f9d8e35db.html</a></p>
<p>Felecia Rotellini (D) for Arizona Attorney General on October 8:<br />
<a href="http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_f898585e-6828-53d7-9da3-1ad5a9dfa8dc.html">http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_f898585e-6828-53d7-9da3-1ad5a9dfa8dc.html<br />
</a></p>
<p>Doug Ducey (R) for Arizona Treasurer on October 7:<br />
<a href="http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_75948a60-023a-544d-853a-a441cc62733a.html">http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_75948a60-023a-544d-853a-a441cc62733a.html</a></p>
<p>The Tucson Weekly (October 7 issue) has endorsed Democrats in almost all offices, except for &#8220;No Recommendation&#8221; in the U.S. Senate race, and none (oversight?) in LD 29 (currently represented by Democrats State Senator Linda Lopez, Rep. Matt Heinz &amp; Daniel Patterson, all running for re-election, but there is a House seat challenger).  </p>
<p>Click <a href="http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/the-2010-tucson-weekly-endorsements/Content?oid=2249924">here</a>, or views pages 18-21 of the October 7, 2010 issue of The Tucson Weekly.  They did issue a disclaimer of sorts &#8212; &#8220;We decided not to make endorsements in some races, either because the result is not really in question, or we didn&#8217;t feel we had enough information to make a recommendation.&#8221;</p>
<p>We &#8220;citizen journalists&#8221; at the Tucsoncitizen.com may or may not endorse candidates, so you could check with the respective bloggers &amp; Editor covering Politics &amp; Government. Progressive &amp; popular blogger &#8220;3 Sonorans&#8221; (David Morales) has already issued his Voter Guide to the candidates &amp; propositions (click <a href="http://tucsoncitizen.com/three-sonorans/2010/10/09/voter-guide-updated/">here</a>.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not so sure whether voters follow endorsements of newspaper editorial boards, especially in Arizona where there are so many &#8220;Other/Independent&#8221; voters. But refer back to this blog once the General Election on November 2nd is over, to see whether these endorsements were influential enough to affect the final tallies.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ll post updates if/when the daily Arizona Daily Star endorses for the two top highest seats in the State of Arizona.</p>
<p>Predictions, anyone?</p>
<p>UPDATE:  On October 24 the Arizona Daily Star endorsed Terry Goddard and Ken Bennett, in answer to my question on top:<br />
