[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both sides let the extreme wing run things. MCGOP too often put up crazies (Ficker) or Trumpsters (Cox -- OK that was MDGOP not MCGOP).

Then the Dems like Takoma Park/SS control things, mainly because they are the most vocal and involved. The people in upcounty (Germantown, Clarksburg) where all the population growth is, are too busy making a living to get involved in the local party dramas.

The solution is open primaries, which means in the general (which has much higher turnout) you'd end up with a left-wing dem and a moderate dem most likely. Then the silent majority would pick the moderate dem.

Instead, the race is won in the primary, where there is scant voter turnout except among the most involved, which tend to be the most progressive.

I never understand this "Marc Elrich is a crazy left-winger" thing. You know who loves Marc Elrich? The Citizens Coordinating Committee on Friendship Heights, the "Save Westbard" group, the Kenwood Citizens Association, and the Montgomery Countryside Alliance. He says a lot of stuff, but when it comes down to it, he supports the homeowners who oppose change, every single time.[/quote]
