naomikritzer, who has been garnering a growing devoted following for her analysis of and endorsements in local political races. Her posts are an excellent one-stop for gathering information about the candidates, and the comments of her readers are helpful, too.

She hasn’t yet worked her way through all 35 candidates, but keep checking back at
her Livejournal, and she’ll post more. At any rate, here are the posts so far:
