Early voting for the March 4 primaries begins in 16 days, and so the Chron has kicked off its endorsements with recommendations in the Constable primaries, for which there are six contested races. They went with incumbents across the board, for which I have no particular quarrel.

I'll be very interested to see what the Chron's schedule for endorsements is. If they intend to make a recommendation in all contested primaries, they've got their work cut out for them, and their recent history isn't that encouraging for getting it done by the 19th. If they don't intend to make a recommendation in all contested primaries, well, I'll be disappointed. We'll see how it goes.
