Its almost as if the incompetant strategy team around Holloway were actually working for Mr Arena.If the Democratic State Central panel invalidates the election of Ms Holloway and orders a new election,as is likely,then Mr Arena will have some momentum and a certain amount of sympathy around the fact that the election was stolen from him the first time around by imcompetant people.He may well head into a new election with an edge,given to him by a very unsmart strategy team around Ms Holloway.This all was very unwise and the responsibility for another win for Mr Arena...and by extension the Mayor...falls on those people.If that result happens then those strategists should do the party and voting public a favor and resign from the town committee as they have proven to be incompetant.

The incompetent strategy team around Holloway includes Councilman Ken Kennedy, who by the way prides himself on knowing the "rules". Many believe this was his failed attempt to secure the 7th for a lock on the Town Committee's endorsement for Mayor. Sorry Ms. Holloway, you need new new advisors, better luck next time.

Don't be so sure that Arena would win a re-vote. He pissed a couple people off when he "ordered" his "followers" to leave after the Lou Watkins vote. There were sarcastic cries of "yes masta" from the other side. I think there are at least two african american men who would not cast their vote for Arena a second time around.

Actually the dumb strategy,the fruits of which will likely be overturned by State Central were the workings of Page,Kenelly,Carbone and Dibella...between them they dont have the brains of a flea.If Arena wins then the above should do us a favor and resign their town committee seats.

I don't think that you can throw anything on Page and Carbone on this one. They were rather silent participants at the meeting. Even DiBella the lesser was not an active participant. Kennelly was doing what he always does.

Could we just get along? Maybe the time is right to let Jean chair a term. She has been a hardworking Democrat and she is even willing to begin to change the course. This was a tough one when the choice was between Arena and Rubenstein: the choice is no longer that difficult. Jean understands what the role of chair is. Cant we just get along? Any chance Arena had at the chairmanship were eliminated by the way he acted at the meeting.

Jean is a nice woman with no leadership skills, as evidenced by her "deer in the headlights" approach at the meeting.I beg to differ with the comment above, in that DiBella,Carbone,Page and Kennelly manuvered the strategy that got us into this horrible mess.

Kevin: Time to raise all of your blog to the next editorial level.

The comments section will gain great integrity by abolishing "anonymous" entries. Being held accountable is the time-honored rule for insuring truthfulness and weeding out "trash". You live or die on the truth when publishing your articles, and should expect more from your commenters.

Bruce Rubenstein and I both strongly advocated for this with Cityline earlier this year.

Anonymous entries may be titillating, but watch comment quality skyrocket when authors are identified. Afterall, "We The People" entries have such credibility, in part, because your name is attahced to them.

Make ALL of your blog first class.

Food for thought.

Thom,

I wholeheartedly agree with you if we were living in a different time. Unfortunately, you know as well as I do, that if many of these posters used their real names, they potentially would suffer severe repercussions from this administration.

I have never edited or removed postings and for the most part, I think the postings are civil, reflecting the posters personal thoughts.

The other issue is there seems to be a strong sense of "kill the messenger" at this point in time.

Many of the posters have valid messages but don't want their names dragged through the mud for issues that have nothing to do with their postings.

I will try to figure out how to get less "anonymous" postings and get people to lay claim for their thoughts. In the meantime, someday's I'm getting as many comments per day as I used to get "hits" per day a year ago.

If nothing else, it is a forum to get credible information out.

Your comments are always appreciated, and we always know where you stand by taking credit for your posts.

And I do know who a lot of the "anonymous" posters are since they contact me and take credit for their posts, if only Eddie knew, he'd be amazed
