Crazy train. [/quote]

[/i]“I am a candidate for County Executive–unexpectedly, I admit–because it would be a terrible loss for this county to fall into the sort of polarized posturing that has poisoned our national politics. That’s not my way. I want to get things done for all of us,” she said in a prepared statement.[i]

Good grief.[/quote]

Elrich is a very polarizing figure, even among Democrats.  Most either love him or are very concerned about how he would lead the county.  Ficker is a joke and doesn't provide a real alternative, especially in such a D county, but there is a lot of room for someone else to step in and be competitive.

She can probably pick up a lot of Blair voters, voters for other D candidates (Krasnow already endorsed her), almost all independents, and likely a bunch of Rs who see a chance to prevent someone who is very liberal from being elected.[/quote]
