[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]David has an impressive list of endorsements. Both Nancy and Tannia have endorsed him. He must have earned their trust.

He's terrible at self-promotion and not great in the debates, but he's a good listener and will make thoughtful decisions. He's still got my vote.

Cristina has more depth than I was expecting, but I'm turned off by the degree to which she does self-promote.

I don't really get why Terron is running other than that he appears to really want to hold public office. He's run for both school board (2008) and county board before (2012), which makes me think he really just wants to be an elected official.

I think Sandy is my #2. [/quote]

I definitely like David more than Terron and Steven. If he knew more, I'd mark him my number 2, but because only Cristina and Sandy seem to know anything about education policy, I voted 1 Cristina 2 Sandy 3 David 4 Terron. I left Steven off because of all the emails. [/quote]

Nearly this. If I ever get my ballot, I'm marking 1) Sandy 2) Cristina 3) David. I know not everyone agrees, but how he treated Symone bothers me more than Steven's emails. [/quote]

I assume you mean Terron, but how do you know he even did anything? Did the OSC actually release his name as the person who reported her or is this just what you heard? And, besides, what really happened to Symone anyway? She's still in the race and now she's definitely on the ballot in the general election. Nobody could get her kicked out of the caucus if there wasn't a legal reason for it and, in this case, there is a very clear legal reason: she was violating Hatch.

So if someone reports Kellyanne Conway to OSC for violating the Hatch Act, even when in fact she was violating it, should we feel sorry for her because someone reported that she was breaking the law? Why would you want elect someone who either knowingly violated the law or didn't do enough diligence to ensure that she wasn't? I know she apparently got a letter from her agency, but (1) she has never produced it so we don't even know if it exists and (2) that reported advice runs counter to everything that feds are taught about the Hatch Act. Symone has been a federal government attorney for 2 decades, for God's sake. She either knew or should have known that the Hatch Act wasn't going to allow to participate. If she wasn't sure, she should have gone to OSC, who is the ONLY agency with jurisdiction over Hatch Act determinations. If she is so reckless/careless with her own personal matters, then how can we trust that she won't be similarly reckless/careless about SB matters? She is not the victim in this situation. [/quote]
