Let's just kill the slating process and get back to being true democrats and just have an open primary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-45260489025559133882008-02-21T20:51:00.000-05:002008-02-21T20:51:00.000-05:00I think current judge Linda Brown ran against the slate and won in 2000, didn't she? With the number of spots, judge races are very different than other offices. The turnout could be huge on the D side if Clinton-obama is still alive and many who vote because of that might - esp. First time primary voters - be unlikely to care too much about the slate for local offices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-10982801755837743232008-02-21T19:44:00.000-05:002008-02-21T19:44:00.000-05:00Dr. Lloyd is a solid individual, but if he's filed now, why couldn't the party leaderhsip find him before slating?<BR/><BR/>Mike O'Connor has to go.
