I wasn't sure what to do about the Economist endorsement story. Some editors wanted to kill it. I resisted for a while, but then I tried asking myself what I'd have done if the story was "Economist endorses McCain." I wouldn't have been so happy to see that on HN. So I decided I was being a hypocrite and killed it.
I agree with you that this election feels historic, though. So let's try a poll about what to do:

- mhartl 18y agoI read the print edition of The Economist and only check my snail mail once a week. I would likely have missed this endorsement were it not for Hacker News. But it looks like my side is losing the poll; pity.
