Nancy Navarro’s campaign is alleging that a supervisor of a Silver Spring post office branch has been blocking their direct mail in the special election.
At least ten days ago, Navarro’s campaign initiated its first mail piece but it did not go out in zip codes 20904 and 20906. Navarro’s staff then found out that their literature was left sitting in trays at the Plum Orchard Post Office in Silver Spring on order from a station manager. That manager allegedly allowed other campaign literature to be sent out right away. We’ll see if the USPS Office of Inspector General investigates, but even if it does, no results will be known prior to the primary.
What was that we were saying about a full moon?

Seasoned political reporters have often speculated that there is some sort of flower that blooms only every few years, emitting some sort of pollen that turns very large numbers of people into strange creatures indeed, usually referred to as "voters" if they are of a certain age.
Usually this is referred to as "silly season". However, it usually occurs over the period of several months and generally seems to end in the first week or so of November.
Full moon, it should be noted, is this coming Thursday. It would be really much cooler had it been scheduled for the 21st.
