All three have run negative ads. I don’t see how the presence of negative ads can be a determining factor in this election.

This is emphatically not true. Only Riemer has run a negative campaign from start to finish. Pretty undignified too.

I can’t vote for Blair because he made his money in pharmacy benefit management, one of the reasons my life-sustaining insulin is priced like liquid gold.

+1 Could have written this myself. Also, there are a ton of Democrats now who were Republicans in 2003, including my DH, my sister, my dad and my stepmother.

I heard David Blair was a former alien.

Try harder Ms. Elrich.

Signed,
Someone who already voted for Blair.

Elrich or nothing.

I know him. He is definitely not a closet Trumper. I don't live in MoCo so I don't have a dog in this fight, but that is just untrue.

This article matches with the view I’ve had of Blair, despite earnestly trying to get more solid information about him from his supporters. Thanks for the link. It’s confirmed my plan to vote for Elrich, based in large part on how he handled COVID. When I contrast Elrich’s informative emails with the vague ones that I’ve received from Blair’s campaign, it is clear that the style and substance (or lack of substance) are accurate reflections of two very different candidates, with two very different constituencies.

As a Democrat I find this thread to be really depressing. I'm not sure Ted Kennedy could win an election in MoCo. I may be a Democrat but I don't believe extremism and lack of diversity and moderation in viewpoints make for good governance.
