I was talking with people at KofC pool and then at a garden party my friends up that way were hosting. Absolutely no one expressed any concern about Katcher using the "n" word in court. None.

That says a lot about your friends.

I think most people correctly see Katcher as a slimy little opportunist.

This democrat is fed up with our Arlington democratic hacks. Voting for Josh 100%.

Lol. You aren’t from Arlington, are you? The case that everyone is referring to involves a very wealthy, white perp. So stir the pot somewhere else.

Just Arlington? What about Falls Church? Says a lot that his supporters constantly ignore the little city

Not the smoking gun you seem to think it is.

+1. Here to say this

How about now? https://twitter.com/theoforarl/status/1661491480001941505?s=46&t=GcfbIOBelUYzyBSzpbqQjQ

I'll happily vote for Josh over Parisa. I think I blew off a caller the other day from the Josh campaign since I assumed it was just another Progressive call. I'll pay more attention now.

I see the usual handful of gross old people ranting away against Parisa on Next Door. No doubt some of them post here as well. Much respect for the people who call them out for being obnoxious, misinformed tools.

Large lead? I'm sorry, the people I was talking with at my daughter's practice at Overlee Pool were ranting against Parisa. My husband said his foursome at Washington Golf & Country Club on Saturday were all bashing "that woman" when they had a drink after their round. So too friends of mine and their friends when our family attended Mass with them at the Cathedral this week. Not to mention all the Katcher signs I see when I take my kids to their events at Yorktown and Williamsburg. So I'd love to know who these people are giving Parisa such a supposedly large lead when all I see is hatred towards her and affection for Katcher.

We all get it. Kehoe has rallied a mob of local Catholics against Parisa. But, guess what, you are not representative of most Democrats in the area.

Yes, blame the Catholics

Why would anyone vote for Josh? He's courting Republican voters because he knows his policies are right-wing. He says he supports reform but he worked for the most anti-reform CA in Arlington/FC history! He was Theo's DEPUTY!

Josh has GOT to keep low-frequency Democrat turnout down. Got to, got to, got to. The Arlington GOP is doing the right thing saying publicly that they don't want Republicans crossing over to vote in the Democrat primary. Hopefully though word is quietly getting out through CivFed reps and the like that in fact we NEED as many crossovers as possible to drown out a low-turnout Democrat primary vote. Josh has also got to demoralize people. Any "pox on both houses" people favor us rather than people saying "eh the incumbent seems OK let's keep her in." So aside from Kehoe mobilizing Catholics and Arlingtonians (homeowners) to vote against Parisa, the ad also demoralizes people who don't pay much attention and makes them stay home. That ALWAYS favors the challenger as those people usually wind up voting for the incumbent if they do show up.

Finally Josh has GOT to counter the other side's get out the vote efforts on Columbia Pike, other non-Fairlington parts of South Arlington, and the Wilson Blvd corridor. Raise the cost for Parisa's people to vote. Josh can work with Natalie and Susan's County Board campaigns to focus on getting the wrong people to stay home or get hung up on the way to vote. I hate to say "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" but some well-placed visibility can go a LONG way to shaping this Democrat primary electorate.

Would have been better if the ad said that the incumbent advocated for a certain light sentence, and that type of sentence is something he will not allow if he is elected.

OP here. This far out from Election Day Josh technically couldn't really have her say that, because the judge imposed a lesser sentence than the incumbent Commonwealth's Attorney sought. Better to have the imagery, music, and the person bashing the Soros stooge so that people THINK she pushed for the lesser sentence. Let them make the connection in their own minds. Let the ad fly around Facebook and Twitter and Telegram and NextDoor and 'Gram so that she has to play whack-a-mole. Then a couple of days before Election Day say the incumbent prosecutor wanted the weak sentence before she has a chance to respond.

You can debate but it's checkmate. You have an attractive older white woman mourning the loss of a clean-cut W-L athlete, and blaming the Iranian incumbent for not being solicitous enough to them for her taste. All with really dark imagery and music when Parisa herself is discussed. That moves people and lets them make their choices. Parisa can only get liberals. Josh can get people who want better reform, and people who want to see our police allowed to protect us and wall off Arlington from DC the way they want to do it. Two groups beats one. Josh wins handily.

So it sounds like there is actually no difference between the two candidates. It's kind of sad if this Josh character can't figure out anything he'd do differently.
