Start thinking about mid-terms: AACO Exec

[Mr H]

Not county executive but I saw a large Pulliam sign this morning that had the name cut out of it, both sides, looked like a razor knife job. About a mile past the Davidsonville park-and-ride.

Went right by there today, and didn't see it. Dang.

 

[Seagrave1963]

Wondering why there are no Pittman signs. I drive by his horse farm daily and there are plenty of opposing signs. Big ones. I know no person who will vote for him, I’m in a hunt club of which he is a member.

Pittman signs will sprout up after the Primary Election - doesn't make sense to spend money if he's unopposed and risk having early signs disappear or get "creatively edited".

 

[Mr H]

Bay Ridge area is full of Pissman signs.

I'm starting to get a bunch of propaganda mail, and something struck me...

If the DGA ads are [effectively] in support of Schulz, and DGA says Cox is '"too conservative for Maryland, does that mean Schulz isn't a conservative Republican?!

Oh, my...

 

[Mr H]

OK... Now I'm annoyed.

In yesterday's mail, in addition to a couple of nonsense mailers, I get a small, hand-addressed envelope. Turned out to be from Haire, a [supposedly] hand-written birthday card.

I met Jessica Haire at Northeast HS. shook my hand and i told her the reasons i was not voting for her. She did ask me and i reminded her of that and she smiled.

She said that one of her opponents said she was a stripper/dancer don't know who

So who did you end up voting for

I suppose it is too close to call for Haire ?

 

[ironpony]

I tried for last two weeks to run into Brian Riddle who owns Homestead Gardens to ask him what’s up with the hairy lady. he has long been one of Pittman‘s biggest foes, there are several things I have shoot to kill permissions on his properties. last I heard he is spending a lot of time in Delaware.

Well, HG did recently open a location in, IIRC, Smyrna, I can't say I blame him for being out of MD.

But Haire's apparent connection to HG is curious,

 

[welder516]

She conceded last night Pittman got the win. Funny how they keep counting for a week or so and finally get the count they need.


I dislike our current voting system

 

[imaoldcowhand]

I don't usually get political. But I don't like or trust Pittman.

I read this today. Sounds like someone was paid off. The counting went on this long why not wait until the end of Friday for a somewhat real count.

"Haire was leading the race on Election Day. According to the State Board of Elections, Pittman regained the lead on Tuesday by 192.

The state board says more than 25,000 mail-in ballots have been counted. More than 30,000 remain until the count ends Friday."

 

[SWO Daddy]

Very disappointed, but not surprised.

What the deuce?

Why would she concede if his lead was < 200, and there are still 30,000 ballots to count?

Because mail in ballots heavily favor democrat candidates - that lead was likely only going to widen as time went on.

 

[welder516]

To me it is odd, if it happened once or twice across the country that would seem okay. But it happened everywhere in our nation and never goes the other way.
Always against the GOP , i get mail ins always favor the Dems but seems they always have some mail ins in a dark locked room and they pull out for such occasions

Probably, but quitting with such a small deficit seems kind of cowardly to me.

At least have them count 5,000 - 10,000 of the ballots, and see what's what.
