[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Washington Post’s editorial board doesn’t reflect Washingtonians or in particular Ward 3 voters then it will come out in the vote. I am not sure why it gets everyone so upset. [/quote]

Same.  There are people/groups who've endorsed candidates I don't like.  The members of those groups don't all live in DC.  But they can endorse who they like.[/quote]

Nobody says they can't have opinions or endorse who they like. They can do those things. But, let's be honest that DFER money is dark money from outside DC and Post opinions about DC are written by a Maryland resident. Just like I don't like Congress interfering in DC's affairs, I am not a fan of non-DC millionaires or Maryland commuters intervening. Your mileage may vary.

This is so nutty.

First, no one person writes any Washington Post editorial. That's not how it works. They're written by the entire board.

Second, I'm not aware of anyone on the board who hasn't lived here forever. Jo-Ann Armao has been here for 40 years. Who cares if she technically lives in Silver Spring? (Are you begrudging teachers who can't afford to live in D.C. and live in PG County?)

It seems *extremely* disingenuous to compare her or anyone else on the board to an outside dark money group. [/quote]
