[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is Floreen will now be the next CE. I'd have preferred Blair, personally. But I suspect Elrich has about maxed out his support. The majority of primary voters who chose Blair, Krasnow, Berliner or Frick will go to Floreen. Elrich will pick up most of Leventhal voters. What will be interesting is the Republican impact. Given their candidate, I suspect a lot of informed Republicans will go to Floreen.

It will certainly be interesting to watch. But if I were putting money on it, I'd go with Floreen. Not that I'm happy about that. [/quote]

I’m fine with Floreen. Anyone but Elrich. I just hope she is in fact able to run as an independent. I can’t inagine she will have any difficulty getting 6000 signatures by August whatever. [/quote]

Why does it have to be Floreen?  She stinks.  Someone else will hopefully run as an "independent."[/quote]

I think it's too late for anyone else to run as an independent with their name on the ballot. Someone could do a write-in campaign.[/quote]

Yes.  Deadline to file to run as an Independent has passed. I think if Floreen runs, the anyone but Elrich crowd should just vote for her and not f*ck around with a write-in campaign. Otherwise, we run the same risk of splitting the vote in the General as happened in the Primary. Keep in mind that a LOT of people don’t really pay attention to local elections and are not informed. So they’ll just vote for the “D” candidate without thinking in the General. So for someone to beat Elrich, it’s critical to consolidate votes around one alternative. Keep in mind Ficker will be running too and may draw some of the loonier or low info republican voters. [/quote]
