[quote=Anonymous]I'm a little like you too, OP. I am a registered Democrat who voted for Blair because jobs seem to be his main focus. MoCo needs to start focusing on jobs.

The national Republican party has completely turned me off to becoming a member of that party. I just couldn't do it. I do believe the GOP - as it currently stands - needs to be eradicated and a sensible group of Republicans need to take their place.

What is the best way for me to do that? To vote straight Democrat? That may be okay at the national level, but at the local level that strategy doesn't sit well with me. I believe - at the local level - moderates should be rewarded. They need to be supported and encouraged to take over the Republican party. That is why I will give Hogan a chance and why - depending on who wins the race for MoCo Exec, I will give the Republican a chance.

But I won't switch my affiliation to Republican. The Democratic party is where all the action is especially in MoCo. The primaries we just had are just as important as the general election. That is not going to change for the foreseeable future. I want my vote to count - I want my vote to count to make sure we also have reasonable, moderate Democrats who don't take the country too far left. That is why I voted for David Blair.[/quote]
