[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The [b]AEA in Arlington County has a history of endorsing the candidates favored by the ACDC.[/b] I can't think of any election where they rocked the boat. I am sure it is a strategic decision, since local politics in Arlington is so incestuous. I have never put any weight into their endorsement, especially when many of the teachers that I know don't either. [/quote]

THIS.
Period.

Why wouldn't they endorse David too? He seems to have more support from elected officials than any of them.[/quote]

I don't think Priddy is favored by the ACDC. Same for Terron, even though he has a lot of endorsements from current and elected officials, too. It seems only Cristina is favored by ACDC in this one.[/quote]

Even the ACDC wouldn't back Priddy. He's the least informed of all 5 candidates.[/quote]

Hardly. They won’t back him because he didn’t fundraise for the right people or put in his time working on other campaigns. That’s what matters to the party. You give and then you get. The least informed is a tie between Steven, who is narrowly focused on Key and has only gotten support from that one community, and Terron, who doesn’t know some very basic things that APS is and has been doing (anyone on the gifted list serve knows what I’m taking about).

Priddy wasn’t my preferred candidate last time, but I really think he worked hard over the last year to get up to speed and to demonstrate he wasn’t just a grudge candidate. Also, as much as I don’t like NVD from a personality standpoint (her abrasive and curt manner can be a bit much), I concede she gets sh** done and knows her stuff. If he was such a mess, she’d never endorse him. [/quote]
