She won't run. It will be Hans or Blair. Probably Hans. I think I'm gonna sit this one out. I hate all of them.[/quote]

I think Blair probably would have been fine, and may have won if it weren’t for the Trump effect- a lot of unease about electing another inexperienced businessman.  But really, county exec is probably the right sort of position for someone with a business and management background.  [/quote]

Blair needs another go at it. Please. Let’s draft him! [/quote]

I don't think that county executive is the right sort of position for someone with a business and management background [u]and no experience in government[/u].[/quote]

I initially agreed with this statement, and that's why I voted for Elrich.  I don't like the idea of some rich businessman who thinks he can buy an office, and then just play around with County government.   I figured Elrich would at least have the established democratic machine surrounding him, and I know many department leaders who are brilliant.  But he's managed to run many of them off.   He needs to learn to let his department heads run their departments, though.   If he trusted them enough to appointment, why micromanage from the second floor?   Elrich may be smart, but he's not as smart as career professionals in their respective fields.  [/quote]

While that's certainly an argument AGAINST Elrich, it's not an argument FOR Blair.[/quote]
