Paris is stuck trying to explain why the judge wouldn’t follow her recommendation for a heavier sentence and why she wouldn’t pander to the victim’s family. And when you’re explaining, you’re losing.

While I agree with you I don’t think he’s going to win. The past month I have been inundated with campaign literature from Parisa’s office saying that Josh is endorsed by republicans and calling him the republican candidate. Arlington voters are going to see this and vote for Parisa. Most people don’t know the details of what happened with the case in the clip you shared. They will see Katcher and assume republican and vote for him. Also Parisa’s campaign is clearly better funded.

I think Josh can shape the primary electorate and pull this out. His people show up. They don’t have to worry about getting time off to go vote or worrying about passing a cruiser at the polling entrance. Josh has some of the best allies you could want in a turnout election like this, and between getting his people out and challenging Parisa’s potential voters I think he’ll pull this out.[/quote]

PP that you are quoting here. It seems that you are making the assumption that Josh’s supporters are wealthy white folk. I don’t think that’s true. Wealthy white liberals are Parisa’s biggest supporters. Also they are the type that believe in supporting “team blue.”  Parisa’s campaign literature portray Josh as a Republican. So those “team blue” types may assume that he is a closet Republican and vote for Parisa. Parisa’s biggest critics are immigrants such as myself who don’t want their kids growing up in crime ridden neighborhoods. However immigrants tend to not vote in local primaries.[/quote]
