[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smart Facebook post from my friend who managed Leggett's last campaign:

People have been asking me about how an independent bid by a sitting councilmember might play out.

Elections boil down to one thing: math.

A Republican putting their name on a ballot and then going on vacation in the Caribbean will get 30% of the vote. That's what the Republican Comptroller, Attorney General and State's Attorney candidates all got. Now the County Executive candidate, a decent guy named Jim Shalleck got 34% of the vote. That's the number that Democrats should pay attention to. Here's why: at 30%, if the other 70% of the vote gets split between 2 people, it's mathematically impossible for both get under 30% and have a Republican win. At 34%, the other 2 candidates could both get 33% of the vote each, causing a Republican to win in an overwhelmingly Democratic county.

Just some food for thought.[/quote]

Yes, except the Republican candidate is not "a decent guy named Jim Shalleck," it's a loon named Robin Ficker.

I have a feeling that plenty of Montgomery County Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents are simply fiscally conservative and will vote Floreen.[/quote]
