I sent the following to the Washington Post this morning. I encourage other subscribers to do the same.
This message is to immediately cancel my subscription to The Washington Post. I am canceling, because of this morning's endorsement of Tom Davis for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives for the 11th District of Virginia.
The Post's coverage of this race has been appalling. Why should the voters of VA-11 have to wait for a scandal or some already known challenger to knock off an incumbent? Tom Davis likely will be in the minority in the next Congress, making him far less effective at both representing his constituents and delivering for his constituents. Andy Hurst only lacks experience. It should be readily apparent whether the aptitude he's displayed on the campaign trail can translate into effective office holding. The time for change is now, not after bad things start happening.
I also disagree with your endorsement of Wolf for VA-10. Polls there show that Feder has a good chance of knocking off Wolf. Why can't The Washington Post be a leader instead of a late follower?
You do your readers a great disservice in your coverage of local politics and your endorsements. That is why I can no longer be a subscriber.
