There have been a lot of organizations doing them this year and now NVTC has joined in with their bullshit endorsements.
Tune in here this weekend for more on this topic. I've been researching and interviewing people doing some of these types of endorsements for the last month and will have some information that will really open your eyes to how this all works.
Seems like incumbent protection to me.

Isn't this just business as usual? I'm looking forward to the story, but it's hard to see anything new here.

It seems like a pretty diverse list, incumbent heavy, but also dem heavy.

At least they didn't endorse Bob Marshall!

..and 'didn't endorsed 'Mr. Jobs' Flannery, and Mr. 'sue everyone' Baker... no big surprise.

I think NoVa's Tech Council has more of a right to issue recommendations to the voters than some two-bit, hack blogger.

I figure whomever wants to endorse should endorse. What's so BS about that?

Corn Dawg-
I may be mis-reading, but I don't think Ben is saying that it is BS for the NVTC to endorse, but rather that their endorsements themselves indicate that the endorsements are BS. Namely the fact that they are endorsing almost no one but incumbents, making it seem like their endorsements were made for no reason other than sucking up.

Use this data to consider if that missed traffic is important enough to increase your budget in order to regain those additional impressions.

This is definitely a blog worth following. You’ve got a great deal to say about this subject, and you can also tell that by the huge number of comments!

I have been taking splenda for several months. Just lately I realized that the moles on arms and especially legs had increased.By a sudden impulse while visiting my doctor for something else I showed the increased moles to him on one leg. He pointed out that two of the moles did not look good, he sent one small part of one of them to the lab and it came back as pre- cancerous. Both moles have been removed since. No more splenda for me.
