And the Chron's editorial board once again retreats into its fortress of solitude, leaving a bunch of primaries behind without any input from them. I suppose they may do one last endorsement roundup on Sunday or Monday, but I think it's equally likely they'll simply repeat themselves with a warmed-over rehash of what little they've done so far. Seriously, guys, you should let us know if all this is too much work for you. I'd hate to see you exhaust yourselves.

Just so you'll have some endorsement stuff to ponder for today, here's some State Senators endorsing Art Hall for Railroad Commissioner, and the Statesman's curious recommendation of incumbent Nelda Wells Spears for Travis County Tax Assessor, along with Glen Maxey's response to same. From what I can see, Maxey is clearly the better candidate, and if I were in Austin I'd cast my vote for him.
