[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry we're going to end up with a situation like the Dem primary for CoExec. Too many hats in the ring. You had a few good moderate candidates, so the moderate vote got spread amongst them.

So the strategy to win is to focus on one target voter group, and even though that group is fringe, combined they have enough votes since everyone else's vote is spread across too many other candidates. Elrich focused on courting the union vote, and won the primary by 77 votes over Blair, with the others trailing not too far behind.

So in the BOE race, won't MCEA (teacher's union) just put their full force behind an establishment candidate, meanwhile the moderate votes will be spread too thinly across all the other candidates?[/quote]

The establishment candidates are the moderate candidates.[/quote]

You're kidding right?[/quote]

No. Are you saying that they're radical firebrands? Have you ever met any of them? Or even looked at their resumes?[/quote]

Yes actually. I've had one on one meetings with a couple of them. True politicians. They'll say one thing to your face and vote another way. [/quote]

The question wasn't whether or not they're politicians. Obviously they are, by definition, given that they hold elective office. [b]The question was whether they're radical firebrands.[/b][/quote]
No, they are actually crazed radical firebrands.  Time to clean house and vote against the teachers union.[/quote]
