[quote=Anonymous]Elrich (who is way, way left) won by 77 votes in the primary. The issue was so many democrats threw their hat in the ring, that the moderate votes was split among Blair, Berliner, Frick, and Krasnow (ok, and Leventhal). Elrich got the unions on board and that locked up one constituency over the others. If even one of the other candidates had chosen not to run, Elrich probably would not have made it. I hold the local Dem party to blame for that (I dont' have a party affiliation -- like 1/3rd of registered MoCo voters -- so couldn't vote for any of them).

Then you have the MCGOP who puts up crazy Ficker. If they had chosen a moderate candidate, kind of like a MoCo version of Hogan, he'd stand a fighting chance of winning in November over Elrich.

Someone asked for an example of idiocy in MoCo governemnt. Here's one:

In short, the Council proposed to allocate $$ to a non-profit (CAIR) that provides legal services to illegal immigrants. They had a few strings attached, like the money can't be used to provide services for violent criminals. CAIR said no thanks (they never asked for the $$ in the first place, actually).

What does the Council do? They pass the bill anyway, so they allocate money in the hope they will eventually find a group that wants it! Shows how much they are about taxpayer money.
