[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of the candidates for DC Council for Ward 3 are shamelessly trawling for votes in NIMBY land?

Goulet gave “Save Hardy Park” a shout-out in a recent tweet so I guess he either believes the lies the FCCA is pushing or cares more about their votes than he does about the truth.

Frumin was pandering to them too it seems by floating some fanciful ideas about finding somewhere else to put the school.

Have any of the candidates straight up called Avery and co. out? If Ward 3 doesn’t elect a candidate who has the balls to stand up to nincompoops of this ilk, absolutely nothing is going to get done in the Ward for the next 4 years.[/quote]

Frumin has raised the most money and Goulet got the wapo endorsement. The 4-5 'progressive' candidates are pretty much just diluting each others vote. My money is on the entire ES plan being scrapped. (The high school will probably still happen)[/quote]

Frumin’s fundraising advantage is entirely due to money raised from people outside the ward. Tricia Duncan has more Ward 3 contributors.

The Post endorsement is worthless and may even backfire. Goulet is getting a lot of negative press as well for things he has said about housing voucher recipients.

But you are dead right about the progressive candidates diluting the vote. They need to figure it out and get behind one candidate. I don’t expect they will, though, egos being what they are.[/quote]

There is only one viable 'conservative' candidate (Goulet). And for the life of me, I cannot figure out the difference between Duncan and Bergman on any issue. So I see it as either Frumin goes though with name recognition (not that is much here) or Goulet goes thorugh since all 25% of conservative dems vote for him. All the rest seem screwed. Now I might be wrong and one of them may have good 'ground' game, but the jury is out.

Also from W3, frumin has 403 donors and Duncan only has 331. All others are under 200.[/quote]

The difference betweem Bergman and Duncan is that 1) Bergman actually knows what he is talking about and 2) has actually accomplished things as an ANC Commissioner.

Duncan uses the words, but she has no idea what she is saying and is unintentionally hilarious in the forums when she uses words in ways that don't make sense. She is clearly a wonderful Community Association leader, but she is clearly having trouble gaining any traction outside of Palisades.[/quote]

She really does seem to be pinning her hopes on her home neighborhood turning out for her unanimously, and I'm not sure that's gonna work. I know that her attempts at reaching voters in other W3 neighborhoods have not gone all that well. A friend of hers whose kid goes to our DCPS hosted a meet-and-greet for her in CCDC and struggled to get people to show up, I hear.[/quote]
