I think an endorsement by a major newspaper doesn't have the effect today that it once had, but it certainly doesn't hurt. And some of the biggest newspapers in Texas are showing some love for down-ballot Democratic candidates -- Leticia Van De Putte, Sam Houston, and Mike Collier. It'll be interesting to see if these endorsements help those candidates.
