[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me indulge for a second and ignore the potential racial undertones and assume that your problem with Raskin, Jealous, and Elrich has nothing to do with them being black or Jewish.

The reason why people like Raskin and Jealous and Elrich get elected (or at least nominated) is simple. Montgomery IS indeed a one-party, and most people know that, and many moderate conservatives register as Democrats so they can have a say in the primary. These people do not however outweigh the solidly left Takoma Park base that votes as a bloc. These people back the most left-wing candidates year after year, and time after time, moderates never learn, and they won’t collaborate and rally behind one person, instead, they split the vote. Raskin one a plurality over Matthews and Trone. Elrich won barely in a six-way primary, where most candidates were more pro-business.

The truth is, most people in Montgomery County do NOT like Marc Elrich and do not identify with his wing of the Democratic Party (which should be the Socialist Party to be honest). We regard him as an obese buffoon who will scare business away, we’ve all but lost Amazon. I personally will be voting for moderate Nancy Floreen if she makes it on the ballot. [/quote]

All of this, but particularly the part where the moderate wing of the party can't figure out how to run fewer than 5 candidates in the race. But putting Raskin on the list is a little off-base because he IS representing his constituents. [/quote]
