The Observation Deck

According to information on Facebook, the Lakewood Dem Club told members that the County Democratic Club, Lakewood members, are meeting Oct 5 to vote again on an endorsement for the award 1 race.

As you may recall, candidate Lindsey Grdina was endorsed. Unfortunately, she came in third and the top two vote getters will be on the November ballot.

So now, apparently, they will meet to choose a “new” “endorsed candidate!”

Beyond the spectacular silliness of it all, this begs the question of the influence of endorsements on voting behavior.

Who even cares anymore?

Cuyahoga County Democratic Party 2019: "We enthusiastically endorse an all-white City Council in Lakewood! We'll even endorse twice if we have to!."
Cuyahoga County Democratic Party 2020: "The Republicans are horrible racists that marginalize and ignore people of color!"

Laura Rodriguez Carbone is once again showing integrity means more to her than political convenience.

Well all of us over here in Ward 1 are hanging on the edge of our seats waiting for the endorsement.

No kidding.

I think the local Dem endorsement is the kiss of death.

Yawn.
