The Lowell Sun has endorsed Niki Tsongas for Congress. The endorsement comes as somewhat of a suprise in light of the generally conservative politics embraced by the Ed Board, but the editorial takes aim at Ogonowski’s refusal to state a position on the SCHIP veto override scheduled to be taken up by the House on October 18th. It is an interesting take and further evidence that Ogonowski’s refusal to state a position on the override has cost him politically. Read the editorial at this link.

And the Tribune (no surprise) has chosen to support Ogonowski.
Interesting that one of their arguments for supporting him — his opposition to gay marriage and for which they briefly touched upon how he felt it should have gotten a ballot vote by the citizen, whereupon he would have abided by that vote’s outcome — was a state level initiative and had nothing to do with the 5th Congressional District race!! You’d think that a pulitzer prize winning newspaper would be able to discern local and national politics….
