Matter of Opinion

Election letters: Thumbs up or down?

We've had a moderate amount of feedback about our letters page of late, which features mostly election-related and mostly Obama and McCain-related material, because that's what we have. A couple of readers have asked if we could please move on -- but more than that have said they enjoy having a full page produced by local writers and balanced by opinion if not by topic.

What do you think? Are you sick of talking about the election with still more than a month to go? Are there more important things, such as the feds' financial dealings, that must be discussed and resolved before then? Or is it more important than ever to hash out the potential presidents' qualifications to deal with these huge decisions? (Other?)



A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
