There had better be a Plan C, too...one that is based on a voting block of three.  And if Jack Loscombe goes down in November, you will have a 2-1-1-1 splintering where anything goes.

Maybe Loscombe thought that there were 1400 more firemen & dependents of voting age out there just waiting to pull the lever for him.

Speaking of the inability to count, I wonder how Pilchesky is going to spin this as some "epic DOherty defeat"?  When last I checked...

...Doherty is still Mayor

...is not leaving for any other job

...is not under investigation

...has not been indicted

...still doesn't acknowledge that Joe Pilchesky even exists

I'm sure that it is the last one that bothers 'ole Joe the most.  Just saying...

You're correct about the number on the November ballot. What Glenn is refering to is the potential make up of council to be Evans-Joyce (2), McGoff (1), Rogan (1) and Morgan (1).

After reviewing the results of yesterday's Primary and looking at the overall vote differences between the candidates it was a lot closer between Loscombe, Wechsler and surprisingly Piccolino than anyone would have thought. 

Come November throw Morgan into the mix and the possibilty of a Wechsler and/or Piccolino write in effort and Loscombe doesn't look like a sure thing.

The one I feel bad for is Doug Miller. He let the Evans machine misguide him into being used to get Loscombe barely elected. Gee Doug looks like they threw you under the bus with all their friends bullet voting Loscombe and left you to fend for yourself all the while you got all your backers to vote Miller-Loscombe.

Loscombe has his work cut out for him in November. Gee NADB looks like your little hissy throw down with your panties in a bunch at last Tuesday/s council meeting before the election didn't derail McGoff afterall. Sleep tight babes...

I never thought I'd ever say this, but I am voting for Lee Morgan.

Damn, that was hard.

On a side note, I did get a house visit from a Loscombe surrogate (one of Ms Evans poodles...the are interchangable), which was pretty pathetic actually.

Besides, doesn't Dunmore have a lock on the 90 year old council member market?

Joyce...yes, that was the Evans Poodle that came to my house.  

Good boy...sit!  Roll-over!

Wow ... every once in a while ... a poster I agree with pops up ... how long do we think this one will last across the hall?????  I say as soon as Joey sees this this poster will be gone!

Which he never did. I don't care who Kevin Murphy endorses, the candidate still has to reach out to the voting public. Don't depend on others to do what you yourself should do. Tell me drop dead seriously. Did you really need Jack Loscombe to knock on your door to understand that if Loscombe loses Doherty will once again have full control over all things financial come January, among other things? If you have lived here more than one year you should know how incrediblely corrupt and dishonest Doherty is, what he's done to this city in terms of raping the taxpayers until they bled out and how happy he is to piss away millions at a time without telling anyone where it went. You shouldn't need to be told who to vote for. Period.     Ok I will tell you to drop dead. My vote is not to be given because you tell me to do it. Jack needs to ask me for it. I would say I don't need to be told by the likes of you who I should vote for. Ban me if you want, but remember banning me only means that you can't handle the truth and you don't want your readers to know that you are not the do all end all to everyone in this town. Jack needs to ask for the votes himself, not Janet, not Bill Courtright, certainly not Mr. Joyce. When someone is at the same rally and the man can't even speak to anyone other than Mr. Joyce and Little Dougie Miller than that is quite a problem. They stand in the back of a room and huddle around the food. Never leaving to talk and move about the room to see people and ask for a vote. Yeah he needs to work for my vote!

Isweartogod and ... pappa pilchesky not getting along ... I am loving this. I'm just sayin!

They really are not capable of simple math across the hall are they ...

 Roseann Novembrino  .  .  .  .  .  .  .     6,619   62.18
 Marilyn Murphy Holden  .  .  .  .  .  .     3,993   37.51

This is merely a 1300 vote spread. Very impressive job by Marylin.  

Let me explain without defending...

Joe follows the "one on, one off" theory.  Thus, if 1,300 voters had changed their minds, there would have been a 2,600 vote shift and Marilyn would have tied Roseann.  I follow this theory, too, but only in limited circumstances such as a local election.

For example, one of the opposition's GOP write-ins lost to our borough council team by two votes.  Thus, one could plausibly say "if somebody had changed his mind, we'd have a problem in the general".  On a city-wide scale?  Nuh-uh.
