		<description><![CDATA[Interesting re the bullet vote - I wasn&#039;t aware of that type of strategy.

Basically, in ea party primary in md, the top three vote netters get to compete with the other parties top 3.  And the top three - repug, democrats, mix. whatever become delegates.

But its interesting in this situation, where apparently there won&#039;t be any repubs winning.

The big reason to vote for Ms. Beyer is that she will be the first Trans person to be elected to a state legislator in the nation, and we owe our trans people this honor.

BTW, this is all part of ending discrimination justified by the &quot;bible&#039;, little different then how slavery and segregation and the KKK were &quot;per the bible&quot;

And in a sense, isn&#039;t it a wonderful problem to have - 4 good progressives vying for 3 seats, assuming the repubs cant come near winning one of the seats.

And I must ask - are you all doing your part?  Example - there are about 18 to maybe even 30 million gays in America -6 ot possibly 10%. And if every gay person gave $5/mos to their favorite gay supportive / activist group- one less drink or something like that at their fav gav bar, the warchest to win equality would be over a billion $$.

Thats no chump change.  There are about 72 gay mayors in the country, and about 100 other key elected officials.  But we have a ways to go, to knock over the people whose learned behavior is to hate people in the name of God.]]></description>
