The Decatur Daily’s editorial board - the second most liberal in the state - wrote this almost farcical endorsement for Cheryl Baswell Guthrie:

Cheryl Baswell Guthrie, is conservative and adheres to many views that we question. She is, however, intelligent and articulate.

First of all, the Decatur Daily’s editorial page writers wouldn’t know a conservative if one fell out of the sky and landed on top of them.  Apparently they think that being a conservative means believing things that they don’t, which is kind of an admission of being liberal.  But how in tarnation (I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen that word written out) can they call Cheryl “Sequel One” Baswell “Sequel Two” Guthrie articulate?

Even the leftists picked up on this one noting that does it “give one pause - and a couple of chuckles.”

I would argue that this is more of an endorsement for Wayne Parker than for Guthrie.  It’s no great feather in your cap as a self proclaimed conservative to get endorsed by the liberals at the Decatur Daily.
