[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I think caucuses are a bad idea, period.  The Dems need to get away from them, both locally and nationally.

Two, I think it is a bad call for a political party to get into these non-partisan races in this way.  It is a waste of resources, for one thing, and in Arlington, it's a stupid litmus test.  We are not going to have some hardcore right-winger elected to school board if there is no Dem-endorsed candidate.

Three, that Blue Virginia post was just gross and really underscores that a lot of political strategists and pundits do not care about the real local issues.  I have been a faithful Democratic voter and have given money to plenty of local and state-level Dems and this is making me rethink it.  I'm not going to vote Republican but will think about sitting out or giving my money to other causes.[/quote]

Yes, very much agree. The caucuses are also terrible because it prevents highly qualified candidates that are federal employees from running-- see Symone last year. Instead we got a 28 yo  party activist looking to climb the ranks. This is exactly why we have the school board we do. No one wants to piss of the hand that feeds them (Arl Dems) and criticize County Board members and fellow school board members for not doing enough. Cristina and Priddy should have walked in demanding that the school board take a vote on Duran's return to school plan.  It is an abdication of duty that the school board has not voted on issues. AND they are establishing an entirely new virtual school with its own principal and admin staff and didn't even vote on it!!!! I have little faith that Kadera is going to bring the accountability we desperately need to APS. [/quote]
