[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If republicans in MoCo actually ran viable business candidates who were socially moderate, they might actually drive the elections to the center. But no, they have to run crazies. [/quote]

Blair was it. I don't understand why not enough people supported him. [b]It seemed like everyone I know  from MoCo definitely did.[/b] I'm curious who didn't like him. The thing is, the person we are looking for is NOT in the council nor anyone else already involved in MoCo politics.  We needed someone from the outside.[/quote]

That tells us more about you than about him.

Blair had little knowledge of, and no experience with, politics/governing. I can't think of any other field of human endeavor where people think that lack of knowledge and experience are positive attributes that qualify you for the job.[/quote]

And yet the person voted in is competent? [/quote]

That's your reasoning? Somebody who did have knowledge and experience with politics/governing is not particularly competent, therefore we need someone who doesn't have any knowledge or experience?

That's like saying that my tall co-worker is not very good at basketball, so we should get someone who is short.

Knowledge and experience are necessary but not sufficient for being a good county executive, just like being tall is necessary but not sufficient for being a good basketball player.[/quote]

David Blair is no dummy. He is a socially moderate business man who founded and ran a healthcare company. The Washington Post endorsed him so clearly I'm not the lone person who thought he was someone needed for that position. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to see real change.. What we are seeing happening under Elrich shouldn't be a shock. We knew how he was before he was voted in but yet people still voted for him.[/quote]

The Post hates Marc Elrich. The Blair endorsement.....both of them.....reflect that, and that alone.[/quote]
