[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Miranda wins the caucus, but the narrative is that she got out the Republican vote to gain that position, we may have an opportunity to test the conventional wisdom that whomever wins the caucus has it in the bag.  The school board is supposed to be a non-partisan race.  When they edged SW out because she’s a fed, I lost all love for their school board caucus.  Im not voting for Miranda, but if she causes the demise of the caucus, I won’t shed any tears.[/quote]

I want to comment on this, but +1 to no one would ask how she would do her job if she was a man. Honestly people. She's a smart woman who knows that job entails. She will figure it out and, I think, do a damn good job at it, too.

But to the above point, whoever wins the caucus gets the Democratic endorsement. They go on the sample ballot. No other Democratic can run against them. Right now, there is not a declared Independent or R candidate for this office (and Audrey is running for County Board this year). So, yes, whoever wins the caucus will win. There is no serious debate about that.

Also want to say, Miranda has A LOT of supporters who are not Republican. I am one of them. Most parents I know are really ticked at APS this year and inclined to support her.[/quote]

I don’t know a lot about the requirements or deadlines.  Is it too late for someone to put themselves out there as an independent and cross the “oath” boundary? If this all makes the arlington Dems take a step back from school board races, I would be thrilled.  Dare to dream?[/quote]
