Not so...It would be a shame if Mello ran with MDF. Not so much because of the "developer money" that is of concern - because the mayor gets her fair share. But rather becoming grouped in with the people who have to pay for votes to get any votes at all. Raia is the King organizer of the paid for votes. And throw in Ramos and Russo who ran the effort in 2015 (including helping Eduardo by paying for the Fox Hill votes) and Romano who together with Raia for some strange reason supports Biancamano - and what you have is all of Hoboken's worst in one bucket together. What they - Hoboken's worst - dont understand is the paid for votes are finite numbers and are much smaller overall and on a relative basis than they used to be. Even a modest effort by the Mayor with the support of the council members in the 2nd, 5th and 6th wards will deliver numbers much greater than those that can be bought. And the Mayor is not making a modest effort - she is acting scared and is doing everything she can to make sure she has the most voters show up on election day. That type of effort, with the help of the general positive feeling people have about living in hoboken, will be difficult for any candidate to beat. And... what MDF and others should listen to more closely... when they hear the anti-zimmer cries from constituents... is how many actually come from people who are not paid to vote, nor live in Marineview, Church Towers and Marion Towers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982097314224201904.post-86759367891763186812017-05-20T19:22:06.306-04:002017-05-20T19:22:06.306-04:00Not sure you understand this point but most people...Not sure you understand this point but most people can smell something foul far before they can see it.

The dark side has a long history of engaging in hiring operatives to post online, censorship, attempts to silence or intimidate critics and so forth. This goes back years and includes an attempt to financially bankrupt more than a dozen people by filing suit against bloggers and posters on this and another site. To the extent this is a "one sided" blog (and posters), it is that we are one sided against people like that. And the folks reformers reflexively dislike - well those are the sorts of people who engage in all the behaviors I listed up above. I don't know if Mike is that kind of person, but he seems awfully cozy with a lot of those kind of people which make me think he is completely disqualified for public service. Hopefully the voters will take notice of his new friends, their tactics and come to the same conclusion I have come to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982097314224201904.post-45114057300135976672017-05-20T15:35:48.811-04:002017-05-20T15:35:48.811-04:00I'm not an operative.

I understand he's had some differences with the administration on a few issues over the years but that's fine, debate and discussion make for a better government. I just hope he hasn't been convinced that these occasional differences of opinion are grave enough to abandon reform. Maybe it's all just rumor, hope so. Stay with the good guys, Dave.

The sticking point is that Mello is afraid to pull the trigger, as is DeFusco so Monday is unlikely to happen. Maybe later in the week. <br /><br />Can you confirm?
