[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Elrich. If people really wanted to beat him, they would have united behind one candidate. [/quote]
You’re not alone. A lot of people like Elrich which is why he won the primary and will be re-elected in a landslide in November.[/quote]

DCUM is as representative of local political sentiments as it is of average household income. That is, it isn’t.

In DCUM-land, Elrich is an abomination and people clutch their pearls at anyone who earns less than $300K.

In the real world, the average Joe and Jane Montgomery feel neutral-to-ok about Elrich and make a combined $110K, drive a 10 year old Prius or a Honda Civic, have a condo in Wheaton and shop at Costco. [/quote]
Just a reminder: Elrich's margin over Blair was way smaller than the last time.

So, "a lot of people" also don't like Elrich.[/quote]
More people liked him than the other choices. He also faced an onslaught of negative campaigning that is historically unprecedented for the county and local elections in Maryland generally. It is really interesting that even in a partisan Democratic primary where only the most motivated vote, the outcome proved that Twitter is not real life.[/quote]
Porportionally less people liked Elrich than last time.  It's interesting that in such a progressive area, a progressive barely eeked out a win.[/quote]

You may not be aware that "eke" and "eek" are different words.[/quote]
