[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't Greg Brandon try unsuccessfully to get one of the Democratic endorsements for an at-large seat last time?  He's in Dranesville.

My sense of Epstein is that she always has to be the smartest person in the room.  She does know the FCPS budget very well.  She also knows all there is to know about AAP and then some.  But, as this thread shows, some of her crowd have no political savvy.   No one would be attacking the MCA if they'd just adopted a resolution that called for caps on class size and emphasized how big some of the classes are in McLean.   Instead, they went the extra mile and called for minimum class sizes as well.   By focusing on the "disparity" of class sizes and the "unfairness" of the current staffing formula, they diverted attention from whether some classes are too big, and invited a larger, open-ended debate on the most privileged and neediest groups in the county.

You are far too kind. It's not that Louise Epstein's crowd has "no political savvy." [i]They believe this stuff.[/i] They believe they are the ones who are ignored and discriminated against. These are far right-wingers, and they have no tolerance for anyone who doesn't share their views. They are engaging in class warfare. They want to rile up the base. They know exactly what they're doing. Don't let them get away with it! Nobody with these kinds of views should be elected, and if she was she would have ZERO ability to get anything done. Classic political move: "These guys are idiots. They won't deliver for you. But I will." Please. I don't care who they run against Epstein -- just vote for the other guy.[/quote]

I am at a point where Epstein is a more palatable alternative than Straus and I am a bleeding heart tree hugging liberal.  Run someone ELSE and I will vote for them. [/quote]
