NEW YORK — This may be a first (and a last) in the New York metro area.
Inevitably, if one newspaper endorses a certain candidate for a powerful political position, its rivals will endorse someone else. The same holds true in sports regarding top-shelf managerial and coaching vacancies.
Even columnists on the same payroll habitually disagree on such subjects, if for no other reason than not to agree, no matter what, with the deep-rooted, insufferable comp. My supporting somebody guarantees backing for someone else by an adversary and so forth.
