Last week III: Politicians and election thoughts

• Who's in the news?
  
  
  
  • State Republicans: Bonus inquiry spreads to GOP
    
    
  • Carol Campbell: Short-term councilwoman making her mark -- note that she's behind two ballot measures this fall, which the Committee of Seventy opposes.
    
    
  • Rick Santorum: Santorum To Pen 'Inquirer' Column I Won't Read (PhillyWillDo)
    
    
  • David Oh: Costume Party: In the scramble for an at-large GOP council seat, David Oh plays the role of Democrat. (CityPaper)
  
  
• Thoughts on local politics from Marc Stier
  
  
  
  • The Judicial Candidates
    
    
  • Needed In Philadelphia: The No-Deal
  
  
• Inquirer endorsements thus far for Nov. 6:
  
  
  
  • Editorial | For Philadelphia Mayor
    
    
  • Editorial | For District Council
    
    
  • Editorial | For Council At-Large
    
    
  • Editorial | For Pa. Supreme Court (one of the more important races)
    
    
  • Editorial | For N.J. Senate

There will be more endorsements, but they disappear, so thought I'd link now. They'll probably summarize just before election day (a week from tomorrow!).
