Taking a tally

Last night’s Rockland Business Association dinner at the Pearl River Hilton was a great opportunity to network, chat and even gossip a little. What about? Politics, of course, specifically the results from this month’s local elections. Interesting stuff.
Someone asked me how we did (meaning the Editorial Board) as far as how many of our endorsed candidates ended up winning. Believe it or not, we do tally this, though I’m not sure what it means. Does it mean we know the community if we endorse candidates that win? Not really. The endorsement selection shouldn’t (and doesn’t) take into account who we believe will win, but rather who we believe should win.
For the record, we were 20 to 13 — 20 of the endorsements went on to win election and 13 didn’t. You decide if that’s relevant. I don’t think it is, but it’s still kind of interesting.
