Think of the money - at .25 cents a copy, 2000 customers grosses $500.00.

Not much advertising up for grabs in the Wilkes-Barre newspaper's Scranton edition unless they give it away. Problem is no matter how cheap you make the advertising they still have no readers to speak of.

So 500 bucks a day - $3500 a week, plus ad income to support a Scranton office? After expenses it's about $400 profit if the margin is 20 percent. Anyone think the Times-Leader is coming to Scranton for $400 a week?

Oh and Art for all of the fake sign ups ... how many subscriptions do you think that they really got? 20 maybe

That's what I thought!

They are not quite as influential as they would have everyone believe ... if they had any sort of pull with the people of Scranton ... he would have 2000 signatures ... hell he's more than halfway there with the membership of DD .... (proof that they are multiple posters I would say) ... Oh Well Joey ... I guess it's not going to happen for all of you ... your going to have to walk to the store and pick it up each day ...

This shows their lack of any major influence in terms of voting. There are probably 35 fake names on there if not more. You know they ALLLLLLLLL signed it and told anyone they could get thir hands on to sign it. So now we have an estimated number of how many people are in that little cult.

PS. those who signed up include people outside the city. So that actually represents their voting block for county, City is even smaller. I love how no matter what JOe does, he remains soooooooo insignificant. No matter how tough he talks or how many suits he brings, he is still a nobody with nothing but a complex. That alone is satisfying to me. When he gets hauled off in cuffs for doing something dumb then that will be icing on the cake.

By the way, whats up with is post about going to the closet to wear a diffent suit.(anaogy to being a bad ass who beats up people) did any of you catch that. Very threating undertones in that. Maybe he realizes he can do nothing and will fall into the trap the smart people are setting for him.

I don't know about eveyone else Art ... But I believe you! I know I signed it one time ...and everyone (well just about everyone) here singed it once ... some more ... I would venture that you and Paul signed often and represent most of those signatures ... but that's just my opinion!

of which there are many!!!!

209 signatures....and the "deadline" was two weeks ago.

Yep. Ozzie's makin' a difference.

"C'mon doomers, only a few thousand signatures left to get with only two weeks past the deadline to go. We an do it!

Up to a grand total of 234 signatures.

Damn, that's some impressive grass roots action at work.

Let me see...it took them a week to get 25 more signatures, which works out to about 3.5 signatures per day, so at that rate they may be up to about the 5000 or so needed by sometime in mid to late 2011. Oh, forgot, some of those signatures maybe somewhat questionable...

Free Speech does't require a multi-paragrah disclaimer Mr. Pilchesky.

Don't forget, their Republican write-in candidate for Controller only got 53 votes, less than the Democratic, and allegedly corrupt, candidate got on the Republican side.

The only way Pilchesky influences elections is when he disenfranchises the rest of the voters. And even then, the result was the same as it would have been otherwise.

Maybe that's why he did it. Maybe he just snapped out of despair. He probably also figured "What the hell, I only got a few dozen votes. Who would even notice if I did this? ....whoops."

Put this one in the rapidly growing Pilchesky loss column. The good news is Sam shouldn't much trouble delivering those 200 papers. His Times route is probably about the same size. Oh wait, that's 200 papers spread out over all of NEPA. Never mind.

Don't forget the route in Joe's imagination...several dozen customers there.
