[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am voting for Sears.  My daughter was just in a bathroom with me the other night when a man walked in kind of dressed as a woman.  My daughter begged me to get in the same stall with her since she felt so scared.  We would have left but she had do go.  I will not leave this decision up to the families, teachers, and administrators.  In FCPS I have seen some of the crazy choices the board has made with disregarding the families input.  Yes, I feel 100% fine voting for Sears because of this issue and only this issue.  I felt my daughter's fear the other night and if I can prevent another girl feeling like this...I will.  It's really crummy what some people are saying on this board.  I would have liked a more moderate democrat but more and more I am becoming disappointed with politics at our children's expense.  And yes, I am sure someone will call me crazy MAGA seeing what has been written here but that is far from the truth.  I really wish Spanberger did better, I was hoping she would have been an ok candidate but I found Sears to at least say some of the things I was thinking and was just waiting for Spanberger to give and answer and not just the run around.

Similar. DH and I are in N Arlington and will hold our noses to vote for Sears because of this and a few other issues. I think our neighbors are doing the same (all UMC professionals, 30s to 40s with younger kids) just based on some GOP coded language etc.

Feels a bit like Trump 2016 when there was a secret cohort of supporters not showing up in the polling. I still think Spanberger wins but I think it’s WAY closer than we know via polling.

She’s also got interestingly bad favorability ratings (no surprise after what we watched last night) so the only way she gains voters is by taking down Winsome which is why she’s running nonstop negatives. You rarely see a candidate who is truly up 10+ points running this many negatives nonstop for this long unless she can’t gain voters via her own likability AND the margins are a lot closer and she sees that in her own internal polling.

Fear and Emotion are highly motivating for certain personalities. [/quote]
