He represents all that WFP stands for. <br /><br />I would love to see him win the democratic convention as well, but feel confident that he will win the primary, regardless. He is far and away the best candidate for the job, and the people of Kingston know that.

Both of the potential candidates are well-educated and would be a formidable candidate. Hopefully, no matter who gets on the council, no one will tolerate Senor's pettiness and shut down his asinine proposals. There are too many more important issues to be addressed - anyone with half a brain should tell Senor to shut up and go away. He's too distracting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-38147989940856078322011-05-27T18:29:16.361-04:002011-05-27T18:29:16.361-04:00Hayes will go door to door to but he is not as lik...Hayes will go door to door to but he is not as likable. Nice guy but not the right guy at this time. Hayes very well could be our mayor someday but at this stage, I am with Gallo. Hayes needs a bit more seasoning and experiance. I also don't think he will be with us on important issues I care about. I could be wrong but I don't know him enough to vote for him to be Mayor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-76211003655775091352011-05-27T18:24:32.337-04:002011-05-27T18:24:32.337-04:001) Shayne wins at the convention with margain to s...1) Shayne wins at the convention with margain to spare.<br /><br />2) Most of the alderman who publicly support Hayes will not support him at the convention. They all know that if Hayes gets anywhere, they are conceding that Hoffay will be the first amongst "equals" on the council and they certainly do not want that. <br /><br />3) Shayne gets both the independence and working family line because he is the only candidate who is an independent thinker, who works day to day to make a living and who has a family who he has and continues to support. He wins those nominations hands down.<br /><br />4) Even in a three way race, Shayne wins hands down. He has significant cross over support and heis the only candidate who knows how to walk door to door and win over voters.<br /> <br />5) This campaign will be won door to door and therefore, all roads lead to Mayor Gallo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-17740289537047131982011-05-27T16:43:33.929-04:002011-05-27T16:43:33.929-04:00To the person who asked me where Reynolds predicte...To the person who asked me where Reynolds predicted a Gallo victory. I am not publishing your comment becasuse of the other lies written in your post. However, Reynolds stated it in his latest column in the Kingston Times.<br /><br />Again, I see the Dem convention going either way, I am just saying Gallo wins primary hands down in my humble opinion.<br /><br />As for your other question please see my comment at 1249pm in this thread. The answer is NOT A CHANCE, I have zero interest and am just a simple supporter becasue of my love for T.R. and honestly Shayne Gallo is by far more qualified.Jeremy Blaberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12612721920350951715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-7584640065353248232011-05-27T16:15:16.648-04:002011-05-27T16:15:16.648-04:00Please let it be true there is a alderman candidat...Please let it be true there is a alderman candidate for Ward 1 because Teetsel should under no circumstances make a comeback.

Noonan did and he went bye-bye.<br /><br />As for the city, look for Clement to win the Dem convention and Cahill to win the Rep convention.<br /><br />Gallo will primary and likely win but NOT 2 to 1. That's foolish. The real question will be WFP and Ind write-in primaries. Gallo or Clement must win all 3 or face a split ticket.<br /><br />Turco-Levin will primary Cahill and lose decisively. If she had any political savvy, she'd go after Peter Loughran. With the majority of the district in her ward, she could win, albeit close. By knocking off a long time player like Loughran, she'd be a real big wheel at the county level.<br /><br />Polacco will not primary. He is too smart for that. He knows he can't win. Cahill has the Conservative line and he won't get beat with a write-in primary. Look for Polacco to run for Alderman-at-Large or Legislator against Jeanette. That's the smart move for him.<br /><br />In the general, the mayor's race will be close. I see ways for Clement, Gallo, or Cahill to win the right to sit at the big chair. The others (Turco-Levin, Polacco, and Jacobs) have ZERO chance to win. Though 2 of them could be spoilers at best.<br /><br />Happy Memorial Day everybody.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-84627210985411721372011-05-27T13:22:01.313-04:002011-05-27T13:22:01.313-04:00Yeah, Rascoe--no brain power there and we are back...Yeah, Rascoe--no brain power there and we are back in the gutter if he is the chosen one to move the Republican party forward.

In Kingston, Democratic name recognition is everything. <br /> <br />As far as the wards go, I see some good candidates on that list, but one guy has to go. He messed up Ulster so bad, why do we want that in Kingston? <br /><br />If it is true that the City Chairman is supporting Clement, then he should resign, he should be neutral until the city convention. <br /><br />Quigley will not run, he knows he has no chance and after kicking Woener's ass so easily, he will not run to lose. <br /><br />The county Republicans are in turmoil, broke, and have no bright lights on the horizon. It should be a Democratic sweep, Exec, Legislature, and DA. <br /><br />The City Republicans will foolishly nominate the new and improved Rick Cahill who will then lose in a primary to Turco-Levin. Cahill has no future in politics and the sooner he realizes this, the better it will be for him. He may want to consider relocating to a place where people do not know him so well. Gallo wins Mayor pretty easily in Kingston. <br /><br />In 4 years, I see a Clement vs. Turco-Levin barn burner, if they can hang in there that long. Gallo will move on to something more permanent in Albany.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-76875354159257617982011-05-27T08:23:03.164-04:002011-05-27T08:23:03.164-04:00The Republican final nail in the coffin when Rasco...The Republican final nail in the coffin when Rascoe takes over.
