Bryan-College Station non-endorsement
Bryan-College Station, despite a high concentration of college professors (ag and engineering types, mostly), is not the liberal part of Texas, and this isn't some podunk paper like the Iconoclast in Crawford.

The Eagle can make no recommendation for president
Seven times since 1980 The Eagle has recommended George Bush, father or son, for high government office. We did so because each time we felt that particular Bush was the better candidate.
George W. Bush is on the ballot again this year and, although we recommended him for president four years ago, we cannot do so again this year.
Nor can we recommend John Kerry.
Neither candidate has been able to articulate a clear and concise plan to deal with any number of issues critical to the voters of Central Texas and, indeed, the entire country, issues such as the war in Iraq, Social Security, the economy, jobs, education, the ever-mounting deficit, health care, immigration, energy, the environment and on and on.
