[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that all the love and hate is for Austin. [b]No one says anything about any of the other candidates.[/b] He's not supported by the "establishment" (teacher's union, Washington Post) so this must really be bothering some people that an "outsider" candidate is actually drawing the interest of the voters![/quote]

People are saying things about several of the other candidates. Pay closer attention.

Also, speaking for myself - no, Austin's [b]candidacy[/b] isn't bothering me. I'm a big believer in the Run For Something idea. It's his positions, his statements, and his actions as a candidate that bother me.[/quote]

^^^also, since this "outsider" candidate thing comes up often: No, a white man who lives in Bethesda and is employed in the finance industry, and whose candidacy is explicitly based on defending the status quo, is not an outsider candidate.[/quote]

DP and I disagree.  Given the current political viewpoints of the BOE and MCPS leadership, he is the outsider/anti-establishment candidate.

People said the same thing about the guy who inherited a fortune from his father and declared bankruptcy 5 times. No, I'm not saying that the two candidates are alike. I'm saying that some of the things people say to justify their support of the two candidates are alike.[/quote]
