And very little coverage of the large glossy mailers and phone calls made on behalf of the labor associations; instead, most articles mentioned just taking an endorsement as if that was all their was to union support.

The most important thing PAN can do to help in future elections is collect the top several issues, get clear and unabiguous position statements from the candidates on these, and communicate these in a way which allows comparisons. And don't accept ambiguous or vague answers from the candidates!
