Also to add onto this, I went out of my way to wait for another story to show up on my desk (Maria's) and another local writer's endorsement (Simone's) so that it didn't seem like I was shilling for Nichole, even though that story about her alleged role in the Foster School stuff is newsworthy by itself.

I have to make editorial decisions all day long running this thing and during an election, it's virtually impossible to report on stories involving one candidate without someone showing up to call me biased.
If you go to my other post, I shared what traits *I* look for in a candidate (Horton referral + Technology pledge), something that neither Nichole nor Pat endorsed.
If you guys want me to cover elections, you're going to have to extend a little bit of grace to me, the field is 12 people and short of printing nothing but quotes, it's impossible to write on it without having allegations of bias.
