Via Twitter, Idaho Statesman opinionator Kevin Richert sez: "Just sent out letters to 95 candidates in contested primaries, inviting them to meet with @IdahoStatesman editorial board. That's my April." Which brought back memories of all those spring and fall political seasons I spent interviewing candidates during my 13 years on the Spokesman-Review Editorial Board. I. Don't. Miss. Them. At. All.

Question: Are you influenced to vote for a candidate or ballot measure by newspaper editorial endorsements?
