The campaign has been -- again, truly! -- one worth paying attention to. Maybe it did not always seemed that way at the time, but looking back over the entire sweep of the campaign, it's not been your ordinary political year.
And anything worthy of voter attention is certainly worthy of voter participation.
In addition to the recommendations of candidates and measures summarized below we have a further urging appropriate to the occasion: Vote.
It's still the best way that anyone has found to settle these matters. The opinion polls, the exit polls, the push polls are interesting but transitory; it's what happens at the polls on Tuesday, along with those anticipatory absentee ballots, that counts.
And there are enough open races and enough close races remaining to ensure each vote will, indeed, count.
