9th congressional district

I have been paying attention to the Charlotte Observer's political endorsements for around 30 years (yeah, I was a political geek even as a teenager) and this is the first time I have seen them recind an endorsement. I have almost always thought their endorsements to be in line with the politics of the districts they are endorsing in and I haven't always agreed with their thought pattern, they didn't endorse me in my first race (won it anyway by 205 votes out of over 200,000 cast.

They have recinded their endorsement of Jim Pendergraph for the 9th congressional district Republican primary and have offered two alternatives, Edwin Peacock and Ric Killian.
