John Sutter : New York Times won't take a stance in Senate , congressional or state legislative races.

He says editorial board has done it since it was created in 1896 .

Sutter says readers rely on editorial boards to help guide them through a thicket of issues, personalities, and promises.

David Gergen : Past endorsements have helped build local political players with outsize national influence.

He says New York voters brought nation larger-than-life leaders including Al Smith , Fiorello La Guardia , Ed Koch , Shirley Chisholm , Jacob Javits , Mario Cuomo , and Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt .

Gergen says Times editorial board made persuasive case for what we should be looking for in a mayor.
