[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still can't believe so many people support Cristina when she clearly launched her campaign on an over-inflated resume, claiming a decade plus experience, when she's barely been out of a high school for a decade.

Then she touted her legislative experience when she just worked on the Hill for a year as a junior staffer.

And she constantly refers to herself as an "educator" and makes it sound like her job is a big-deal. Think about the 20-something junior consultants in your office: That's her.

This has nothing to do with her being a woman of color. It has to do with her misrepresenting herself. [/quote]

This. This. This. Exactly on point.[/quote]

THIS IS THE BIG BLUE MACHINE, GEARS SPINNING.  Diaz-Torres has been a good "Arl Young Dems" boots on the ground for years, so the "Arlington Dems" are throwing their full support behind her despite her inexperience.  (Case in point: Tafti's endorsement from day one.)  Naiveté is not going to move APS forward with two seats open, likely one more (with Kanninen likely leaving), and a new Superintendent to be named who knows when.  This is classic political b.s. and exactly what we DON'T need on the school board![/quote]

Yup, what s/he said!  I'm definitely voting Sandy Munnell and David Priddy as they seem to be the only ones self-funding and without the big blue machine behind them.  The rest can just go on away, asafp.  (Especially Simms.  Really, an endorsement from Booker, who's in bed with DeVos?!?!?!)[/quote]

This is just nonsense. If we only elect people who can afford to self-fund their campaigns, we'd be stuck with Trumps, Romneys, and Bloombergs. Most younger candidates would be disqualified because they do not have 40 years of savings.

I didn't know Sandy and David are self-funding, but it makes sense to me that David would struggle convincing people to donate to him. He is the least prepared of all the candidates. I'm fine with Sandy but think she will go along with ever the admins want. [/quote]
