This is true.

But what is threshold for people to pause and ask if maybe the Elrich message/campaign is not resonating?

Ficker got 16% of the vote

What if Sully gets 25%, or 32% (double Ficker)

That's probably the more realistic possibility vs him winning.

Truthfully, the most likely outcome is that Sullivan sees a slight uptick.  Ficker got 65k votes; I could see Sullivan getting 70-75k.  But that's probably not enough to start a conversation on county frustration with Democratic leadership[/quote]

Even if Sully gets 30% no reasonable person would think that means Elrich does not have a mandate. GTFOOH. The reality is that Elrich is pretty ideologically aligned with voters in this county. Those negatively affected by his policies and/or mismanagement voted for Blair in the primary, but these types of issues related to actual leadership skills carry little weight. We'll have to see what happens when the recession hits and the CE and Council have to make actual difficult decisions, made more difficult because they have already locked in higher costs with the raises and benefit changes they approved.[/quote]
