Not only was he endorsed by the post, he has spent more money than everyone else

I don’t think spending the most money is anything to base your vote on. But I do think Blair is is the best of a crop of mediocre swamp creatures because he isn’t tainted by a crap record.

He has no record because he’s never been in politics. He doesn’t even vote half the time. He’s just looking for something new to do. The county is his new pet project.

PP, you should still vote for Frick if you believe him to be the best candidate, as I do.

Please do not be swayed just because someone has deep pockets. A rich person without political experience should not be elected for an office like this. And if he does not win the primary, he should be throwing a pile of his money to help Frick or whomever win.

I like Frick but he can't win.

Blair definitely can- and we need him to, so Elrich does not.

This is the stupidest argument. Why "can't" Frick win? Because Blair is funding himself? He is an ex-Republican with no prior interest in state or local government. If you want someone in the mold of Trump go vote for him -- that's your choice-- but to most Dems he is a last choice so to say people should vote for him bcs he's electable is dumb

I'm worried Blair and frick split the votes of people like us so I'm trying to vote for the one with the best chance

We need ranked choice voting to avoid this problem

Agreed. I know his personal record and how he built his business. I'll pass.

Sure fine. I get that. But Leventhal and Berliner have bad records in my opinion, and have consistently put the wants of developers over the needs of our schoolchildren. I haven't heard anything about Frick, so I assume he doesn't have a shot.

Because most polls show him running either 4th or 5th??

It's a two horse race- Blair or Elrich.

Sorry,but that is the reality.

Because not enough people are willing to vote for him.

Really? What's up with the lawsuit settlement for selling fake disability policies to poor, unsuspecting clients? That really freaks me out.

+1. I’d be fine with Blair, Frick, Krasnow and I guess even Berliner or Leventhal if the choice is otherwise Elrich. Blair has the best shot of winning so I’m voting for him. I have a feeling tho that Elrich will win because all anti-Elrich votes will get split. I have always been a pragmatic voter and it’s beyond enraging every time I see idiots “vote their conscience” or whatever other narcissistic bullshit rationale they come up with to vote for a hopeless candidate and ensure the worst candidate wins. So stupid. So hopeless.

It's a two horse race- Blair or Elrich.

Please post any polls you've seen-- The only ones I've seen show everyone spread out and showed Blair doing poorly.

Same. And if that’s still the case I’m voting for who I like (Rose).
