I thought Gary was making another run for the Mayor's office???

I can tell you who won't be on my list ... I don't know enough to tell you who I will be voting for just yet.

Doug Miller
Janet Evans
Pat Rogan
Giovanni Piccolino


I don't believe that Pat O'Malley is running is he ... for God's sake he just won his seat as a School Director again ... and I was under the impression that Sherri Fanucci was not going to run again ...

I will wait to see which ones come out with official announcements before I go making any real decisions.

Assuming that list is all-inclusive, I say three of the following six people can win:

Judy Gatelli, Janet Evans, Pat Rogan, Pat O'Malley, Tom Charles, and/or Gary DiBileo.

I believe neither Pat O'Malley nor Gary DiBileo will run for council, so that leaves me with four. Janet Evans finishes first, Judy Gatelli finishes second, and the two guys fight it out for third place.

My thoughts on the candidates (good topic BTW NewsAlert):

Janet Evans - Doesn't do as well in 1:1 races because of high negatives, but when the votes are split between several candidates she can do well (combination of a very small core of rabid supporters + those who figure "what the hell, I have to vote for someone"). I agree in that she finishes first. Let's just hope she dumps the "circa 1982" picture on the campaign signs and keeps David chained to a radiator for the next 13 months.

Judy Gatelli - Also wins, despite Pilchesky's crowing to the contrary. While I disagree with her engaging numb-nuts in court, I do give her credit for having the guts to stand up to the serial-bully. I agree that she finishes second, but not as far behind Evans as some would like or think. I like Judy...she has spunk, and a far thicker skin than people give her credit for.

Pat Rogan - Will finish third, if for no other reason than the fact that DiBileo will not be running, and I think that many voters around here get confused between the various versions of O'Malley that run for office in Scranton.

As for the others...

Giovanni Piccolino - Should stay home. The pizza business is good, so why endure the headache associated with having seeing idiots like Spindler and Franus write about you on some half-assed gossip site? Make the pizza Giovanni...make the pizza.

Any Form of O'Malley - See above.

Gary DiBileo - I think Gary is a hell of a nice guy, he's a good insurance agent and his Chris wife is a very nice lady. That said, I have a tough time forgiving his "flexible spine" when it came to supporting the new Scranton High Schoool (Gary...hmmmm, now why is it that West HS has a TON of room and Scranton HS is over-crowded?????).

Young Doug Miller - I have a daugher older than Doug Miller...enough said. Smart young man who needs to get a formal education, make some money in the private sector, learn what it's like to pay taxes, and then come back and run for something (if he's still interested). He will do well in this world if he just takes his time.

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

Well if thats the case that Piccolino is the only one running on the Republican ticket then you are right he will be a lock ... but ... and correct me if I am wrong ... haven't the council candidates been running on both the R and D ticket lately so if there are cross filers then it will be an entirely different story ... but I might be wrong about this ... if he's the only one he's got the primary locked up. But will more likely than not be easily defeated in the general.

Evans will not run for mayor, she has to much to lose with her teaching job. Dibileo will not want to spend the amount of money it will take to win the mayors job, but he will win council with little effort. I would love to see a strong person with the money behind him(or her) to make a run at mayor, Doherty has become a bit to arrogant. The only person I think would have a shot is Corcoran but I'm sure he wouldn't want it. Council is up for grabs, there will be many other names in the mix before it's over. The one name that will be on the bottom of the list is Doug Miller, for one he's way to young but his biggest problem is that he has Bob Bolus running his show. He would be better off with Dave Evans running his campaign.

And so begins the slamming of Giovanni Piccilino at DD ... I knew it would happen ... it was just a matter of time.

Yeah, that irritated me.

I heard Piccolino has also switched to the Democratic party. Unfortunately for these newbies, Janet Evans and Gary DiBileo will be the top two finishers. Judy Gatelli, Pat Rogan, and Tom Charles will be scrambling for the third spot.

Glen surely you know that Joey-boy plays around with several dozen alter-ego screen names...I can't believe that suprises you. He often has them talking to each other andresponding to his "main" screen name. so screwing around with Mr. Piccolino is nothing new for this dirt ball.

Ah, I don't think he does or he doesn't care to think about it...no need to upset the natives.

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

Do you?? By my last count there are in excess of 70.

Welcome to PD ... I agree that DD is too harsh ... I have sent an email to you explaining the rules of PD and welcoming you ...

I will agree with you that Evans and Gatelli will win ... you may be right about the third seat going to Rogan as he has name recognition after running last time around ... I myself think he is very young and could like Mr. Miller stand a few more years of life experience first ... but his name is more recognizable than Mr. Charles ... it should be very interesting.

I agree with you also that Gary will not make a run for Council as he wants to be Mayor so if he runs for anything again I think it will be a run for Mayor ...

Again welcome to PD!

Welcome Sammuel! :)

Gio, I know you check this site out once in a while. I really, really hope you don't do that to yourself again. Stick to making hoagies & pizza, serving beer and chasing those air-headed babes you love dragging around on your arm. I'm telling you straight up. You fvck around with this election and you WILL NOT BE FVCKING happy with me. You're a disgrace to your family and friends. You were a joke as a candidate last time, but you walked away with nothing more than a bruised image. That's Giovanni Piccolino Costanzo, do I have that right?

I think I will start outing all the personas on the roster. This would be an example of one talking to another. Joey-boy is pathetic!

Judy Gatelli? Charles and Piccolino better stay on the bench.There won't be a shortage of clips, late hits, illegal blocks, roughing the passer, tripping, personal foulsand unsportsmanlike conduct. That goes both ways. The field awaits your arrival complete with all the new players. Sorry they're not dressed for the occasion, they don't do 'cordial' very well. We've found a few players who like to dress just like you.:) Here's a clue - Phillips ain't doing dick.
