Here in Frederick County, Maryland, we had three candidates named "Young." All related.
One, running for State Delegate, is a classic tax-and-spend more liberal with a long track record in local politics. His son, running for County Commissioner, a hard core Tea Partier who hosts a popular right-wing radio show, and his other son, a teacher who was running for the extremely unpopular local school board.
All three of them won. Seriously, I don't think the local voters even knew which Young they were electing, they just kept choosing Young....Young....Young...... even though the three stand for radically different values and principles.
This is what you get in a society which gets it's news from the Comedy Channel
Maybe they just don’t like old people... :)
