The Daily Press endorses Phil Hamilton despite what's right on its front page, and also what it acknowledges in its editorial, that Hamilton "compromised himself and his office when he wrangled for a job at a new teacher training center at ODU just as he was seeking funding for it in the General Assembly." As Sean Holihan tweets:
Daily Press -- You're wrong for endorsing a man soon to be indicted. Any credibility you once had is completely and irrevocably gone.Exactly.
P.S. These imbeciles also endorsed Pat Robertson's Manchurian Candidate, aka Bob McDonnell, for governor and former "Enron of the Insurance Industry" executive Bill Bolling for LG. In fact, the only one the Daily Press managed to get right was the no-brainer of all no-brainers: Steve Shannon over right-wing radical/tea partier Ken Cuccinelli. Congratulations, guys!
