[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this even a question? I say that because no one actually thinks DeFerranti has any chance against Vihstadt, do they? Vihstadt annihilated the Democrat candidate TWICE the last time (special and regular).[/quote]

The Dems are pushing deFerranti hard and think he was a shot. If you support Vihstadt, this is not an election to get complacent, especially not when the Kaine/Stewart race at the top of the ticket and national politics generally are expected to boost turnout a lot for registered Dems.[/quote]

This is what is worrisome, and I will explain why. When I was living in Arlington in my early and mid-20s, renting and childless, I just automatically voted for whatever Dem was on the ticket. So many people truly don’t follow this stuff - and why would they? It doesn’t affect them. They don’t know better re: schools, housing, etc.[/quote]

Yes, indeed the Democrat groups are pulling out the stops. DeFerranti talks about Arlington being highest in student spending and capital costs. That’s OUR ground.

Wait a minute. If the APS teachers' PAC endorses the Democratic candidate, DeFerranti, then how is it that DeFerranti is a disaster for the schools?

BTW, how do I know all you "Democrat except voting for Vihstadt" people are really Democrats? Sounds like an organized trolling effort.[/quote]

You sound like you aren’t informed enough to know one way or the other.[/quote]
