This page does not always endorse in the presidential primaries. We last did so in 1992. We believe dual pre-nomination endorsements are in order this year because of the competitiveness of the contests and because of the importance of the choices before our readers. These endorsements are also, in some sense, a tribute to the vigor and seriousness that the four candidates have brought to this campaign season. So with a bow of respect to all four for reviving public interest in the election process, we endorse Mr. McCain as the preferable candidate for the Republicans and Mr. Gore as our choice for the Democratic nomination.
