Big shock. The Philadelphia Inquirer, the state's most liberal newspaper, has endorsed two liberal Democrats for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Way to go out on a limb for the Inky's left-wing editorial board.
I don't think The Inquirer has endorsed a Republican since the Civil War. Come to think of it, the Inquirer probably wouldn't endorse Abraham Lincoln if he were running for office in Pennsylvania. "Democrats good, Republicans bad" is the premise this newspaper works with when it considers endorsements. Who can forget its 17-day series of endorsement editorials backing John Kerry in 2004?
If you're interested in the Inky's convoluted justification for backing the two liberal Democrats for the state's highest court, you can read it here.
If memory serves me, the paper picked the one guy, McCaffery, because he's an Eagles fan and the other woman, Todd, because she's from out west.
I haven't given much thought to the four candidates running for two open seats on the state's highest court, but now that I know who the Inquirer is recommending, I'm going to take a closer look at the other candidates: Maureen Lally-Green and Mike Krancer.

Funny you should mention the Inkwaster as "Pennsylvania's most liberal paper."
The recent announcement of adding Sen Rick Santorum as a bi-weekly columnist sent most readers in an apoplectic frenzy!
I, for one, can't wait to start reading his columns!
